I. Customer Challenges: Seeking a Breakthrough Amidst the Dilemma of Cost and Quality
Our client is a well-known chain brand in South America serving the high-end advertising design and document printing market. Facing fierce market competition and demanding customer expectations for color accuracy, they were struggling with three core pain points:
