Hybrid Software Brandz releases Artflow 25.09 version

Hybrid Software Brandz has launched Artflow 25.09, the latest version of its artwork and packaging management platform, designed to enhance efficiency, accuracy and automation for brand owners and their supply chains.

The release introduces real-time Gantt chart tracking to provide clear progress visibility and more accurate delivery forecasts. Retro planning enables users to schedule backward from launch dates while flexible revision times allow each review stage appropriate attention. Automatic alerts provide early warnings when deadlines face risk.

'Artflow 25.09 is our most advanced release yet, giving brand owners complete control over artwork timing, compliance and automation,' commented Ben Dekeyser, product manager at Hybrid Brandz. 'These innovations help companies deliver packaging faster, more accurately and with greater confidence.'

The version adds AI-assisted rules for streamlined compliance validation and tighter proofreading workflow with fuzzy search to locate copy directly on artwork. Customizable language displays allow users to select which languages appear during proofreading sessions. Grouping, filtering and sorting options simplify complex copy sheet handling, making compliance checks faster and more reliable.

Artflow 25.09 expands integration capabilities through a new Public API built on Azure API Management, providing secure and scalable cross-system automation including product and brand data synchronization.

The platform now integrates with MyCloudFlow, Hybrid's SaaS workflow automation platform for packaging graphics, enabling end-to-end automation, including barcode placement, packshot generation, and step-and-repeat creation, directly from within Artflow.

The enhanced copy management features address the deadline pressures of brand teams while maintaining accuracy standards across complex packaging workflows.
