Executive summary
A leading marketing services provider operating across 17 countries sought to enhance its online store’s design customization capabilities by integrating CHILI Publisher, replacing their limited in-house editor.
The project aimed to overcome challenges posed by the existing tool’s restricted design flexibility and features.
By implementing CHILI Publisher, the company gained access to a more versatile range of design tools, enabling greater customization for both customers and internal teams.
The integration streamlined design workflows, improved user experience, and successfully elevated the company’s service offering over a 12-month implementation period.
Challenges
The marketing services provider faced significant limitations with its existing design editor, which only supported the SVG file format. This restriction hindered the company’s ability to offer a diverse range of design options for customers.
The limited designer tools within the editor further compounded the problem, making it difficult to create customized designs that met the unique needs of clients.
As a result, the lack of flexibility in the design process became a major obstacle, both for the company’s customers, who demanded more customization, and for internal teams, who struggled to create dynamic templates.
These challenges underscored the need for a more versatile solution that could support a broader array of design formats and offer a more comprehensive set of tools.

In addition, the project sought to empower the internal design and production teams with a more versatile platform, enabling them to create complex and tailored design templates for various products.
