“
I’ve used Cway® for many many  years across different companies. Before, artwork management was complicated, complex, and frustrating. Now we have control, peace of mind, time savings, and improved quality due to less errors. What took ten hours before now takes one.

THE ARTWORK PROCESS

Start Managing Artwork as an Operational System

Plan the work, track every revision, hand files to designers and printers, and keep a complete record from brief to archive.

 

CONTROL PROJECTS

Clear Overview, Live Status

See every project on a planner timeline with percent complete, set custom statuses that match how your team works, and keep track of what's waiting on you in one live inbox. A project can't be closed while tasks are still open, so nothing is left half-done. Everything updates in real time, with no refresh.

USE CORRECT VERSIONS

Artwork Revisions, History, and Accuracy

Every change to projects, artworks, files, the library and products is kept as a permanent event, and every approval is tied to the exact revision it was given on. A comment that turns out to be wrong can be taken out of the flow without being deleted, and restored later if needed. You always know which version is approved, and how it got there.

 

SKIP THE COORDINATOR

Auto alerts & task management

Stay in control of every task with automated alerts and structured assignments. Cway® keeps deadlines on track by notifying teams about tasks, approvals, and updates, while keeping responsibilities clear to reduce confusion and delays.

Assign, approve, reject, bundle, and deliver hundreds of SKUs at once. With automatic alerts and deadlines for each approver, everyone stays aligned—so an entire product range moves forward as smoothly as a single update.

Collaborative artwork management and project workflows

 

WORK WITH DESIGNERS AND PRINTERS

Seamless teamwork in
real-time

Connect teams through real-time updates, shared workspaces, and streamlined workflows. Everyone stays informed, feedback moves smoothly, and approvals happen faster—keeping projects on track no matter where teams are located.

Designers can check artwork in and out, while returned files are automatically organized by type and every change is recorded in the file history. Printers can complete full print specifications directly from an emailed link—no account required—while a dedicated Repro role gives them access to delivery files only.

 

FROM BRIEF TO ARCHIVE

Rapid project completion

Keep artwork moving from concept to production with a clear workflow, organized reviews, and fast approvals. Everyone knows what needs to happen next, reducing bottlenecks and helping teams meet tight deadlines.

Once approved, the final master stays available for future use. When artwork is no longer active, mark it as obsolete instead of deleting it. It leaves daily workflows but keeps its complete history, ready to be brought back when the artwork is needed again.

OPEN API & INTEGRATIONS

Connects to the Tools You Already Use

Cway runs on an open API, the same one the app itself uses. With scoped API keys and webhooks on key events, artwork, product and approval data can flow into the systems your teams already rely on.

Teams already use it to sync approved artwork and metadata to Bynder, so their DAM always holds the latest approved master; to keep people up to date on artwork activity in Slack; and, for Nordic agencies and printers, to connect Blikk ERP, where linked projects are created, the closing status syncs back and time reports flow into Cway.

Need something else? Tell us which system you want to connect, and we'll work out the integration with you.
