Exciting News for the GXN Community
Dear Member,
Welcome to the fourth edition of GXN Insight. Whilst we distributed Insight No. 3 just over a week ago, as we gear up for Kitzbuehel, we want to keep you informed of news surrounding the GXN Conference. Therefore, we will be increasing the frequency of the GXN Insight to make sure you are well informed. There are three pieces of exciting news in today’s Insight.
We start with exciting news on the strategic industry topic of a strategic paper jointly published by FastEditor and GXN. Entitled “Artwork Automation in the European Promotional Products Market”, it outlines a framework and explains how companies can address today’s challenges by creating a deeply integrated and connected workflow across all stakeholders in the promotional products value chain.
As this strategic paper recognizes the significant risk to the profitability of the entire value chain and the industry as a whole of a structurally more complex environment, we have extended the white paper as a featured GXN Leadership Podcast. Posed as a case study, we explore a real-world digital transformation project with the CEO of FastEditor and Marc Mombauer. Click the link to access “From Artwork to Production – A Digital Transformation Case Study with FastEditor” and listen to a compelling case study of how innovative software can transform operations in the promotional products industry. It is a must-listen for anyone interested in automation, digital workflows, and the future of production… Link here.
Last but not least, the GXN Network is growing, and in this Insight we welcome a new member – Maarten Boone, CEO of Brikl. Maarten is the Founder and CEO of Brikl, a B2B technology platform for the on-demand promotional products industry. Maarten began his career in the company’s European printwear business before moving into global supply chain leadership roles across Europe, the United States, and Asia. Before launching Brikl, he spent more than a decade at Hanesbrands Inc., one of the world’s largest apparel companies. Brikl helps distributors, decorators, and suppliers sell, personalize, source, and fulfill branded merchandise through connected digital workflows.
We hope you enjoy this exciting news. In the next Insight, we will bring more news about the conference.
Best regards,
Michael Freter
