Défis

Diversity of providers and scattered exchanges between emails and file transfers.

Difficulty in tracking versions and centralising feedback.

Long and cumbersome validation process.

Benefits

Complete centralisation of projects and content.

Simplified management of feedback and accelerated validations.

Significant time savings on multilingual production.

A multi-partner organization to be structured

A burgeoning content production

Present on several continents, Seguin Moreau showcases its expertise through various media: videos, brochures, commercial leaflets, digital content, and publications on social networks, often translated into multiple languages. This sustained production involves multiple service providers (agencies, videographers, translators, graphic designers, printers…) and entails a complex management of versions, validations, and exchanges.

An organization to rethink for greater efficiency

Before Smartevo, management relied on various disconnected tools: file transfers, multiple emails, and scattered validations. This way of working, which was very time-consuming, made it difficult to track projects and consolidate feedback.

Smartevo, a tool to structure and accelerate production

A clear centralisation of projects

With Smartevo, Seguin Moreau now has a unique space to manage all of its creative productions. Each project brings together its briefs, files, annotations, and approvals, simplifying communication and providing complete visibility to all stakeholders.

A smoother collaboration with service providers

The back-and-forths are now consolidated on a single platform. Agencies and freelancers upload their deliverables directly into Smartevo, where internal teams can annotate visuals, comment on videos, and validate materials with a single click.

Result: fewer errors, less time wasted, and smoother validations.

Smartevo saves us valuable time. Moreover, the solution evolves according to requests and needs. The team is always attentive and responsive when I reach out to them for an issue or a request for adjustment of the solution: this is very appreciated.

The benefits

Centralisation of content

All files are grouped in a single space, accessible to all stakeholders in the project. This centralisation puts an end to the dispersion of materials between emails, file transfers, and external platforms. Each video, visual, or document is now stored, organised, and versioned in Smartevo, ensuring quick access and better coherence among teams.

Simplified returns management

Thanks to the integrated comment thread, feedback from internal teams and providers is gathered in one place. Annotations can be made directly on the videos or documents, down to the second or paragraph. This system avoids duplicates, clarifies exchanges, and significantly accelerates the validation phase.

Significant time saving

Teams save valuable time on the stages of proofreading, subtitling, and validating multilingual content. Successive versions are automatically organized and identified, which eliminates versioning errors and loss of information.

Traceability and optimized management

Each project benefits from a complete history: comments, approvals, files, and update dates. This traceability enhances visibility into the progress of productions and allows for more structured management of activities. The team can thus anticipate needs, prioritise, and build on best practices from one project to another.

Today, Smartevo enables Seguin Moreau to manage its creative production with greater fluidity and visibility, while ensuring the quality and consistency of its brand image. A partnership based on simplicity, responsiveness, and efficiency.
