Pros
Very good, I am happy that we use Cway as a platform. It makes my job easier when it comes to artworks when we are redesigning or launching new products.
Easy, fast and comforting. By comforting I refer to the long and important experienced of the perosnal working at Collabra who help us daily with challanges in printing technique and color choices.
The easy to use interphase and the great personal at Collarba who has important experience and are fast to respond with support.
Super impressed and happy with the platform - time consuming tasks are now handled with ease.
Cons
Problem to log in sometimes. That you need to download a picture to get the right experience.
Project list should have name of article. Difficult to see if all artworks have benn commented in the long list of a project.
Popup windows might be in the way, but selldom disturb the workflow.
That it is not a standard in the whole brand world. Missing a simple explaination of what it can do.
