Purpose and goal
NCS Colour have developed a groundbreaking web portal that takes colour management in the production end into the digital world. The web portal enables colour communication with the world- leading Natural Colour System®© as its foundation and solves the problems that arise when a company is to communicate and control colour requirements for physical products with suppliers.
Results and expected effects

Companies can ensure that all suppliers regardless of measurement equipment produces identical colour on the company s products, shorten time to market for new products, improve efficiency, and reduce the need for physical transportation.
