80% Faster POS
Production Through Automation
As ARTDECO expanded its multilingual retail activities, the production of POS inserts and EAN labels became increasingly complex. Thousands of POS materials had to be created and updated across 12 languages — often multiple times per year. The workflow relied heavily on manual processes across Excel, PowerPoint, SAP, barcode generators, and Adobe InDesign, resulting in time-consuming production cycles, disconnected workflows, and increased risk of errors such as incorrect prices, outdated content, or mismatched barcodes.
To overcome these challenges, ARTDECO implemented the InBetween Solution to establish an automated, centralized publishing workflow connected directly to Akeneo PIM and Adobe InDesign. Product data, prices, EANs, barcodes, icons, and localized content are now automatically pulled into dynamic templates, enabling fast and accurate creation of POS materials while maintaining full creative control over the final design.
“We didn’t want to burden the graphic design team with unnecessary change. The fact InBetween could connect with Adobe InDesign was a game-changer. It meant we could keep our way of working: maintaining high standards of design and our usual work process.”

“The benefits of using InBetween are huge. What once seemed like an overwhelming task has been streamlined and automated. We have achieved the ideal balance of speed, control, and efficiency. Based on this experience, we plan to take things further by expanding our use of templates.”

“In summary, we are very grateful for the implementation — especially considering the time savings and the level of detail achieved, exactly as we had envisioned. We experienced hardly any design limitations thanks to InBetween. Instead, processes were streamlined where necessary, while all elements were retained and implemented as before. The collaboration was also very good. Communication worked extremely well, and we truly appreciated that.”
