FINAT search database update and policy FINAT has been informed that members have been approached directly by client search companies making reference to their companies’ membership of FINAT. It should be pointed out that these approaches have NOT been endorsed by FINAT, as FINAT, as a matter of policy, will NOT make available its membership list to third parties. The FINAT website does however contain a search database listing member company details as provided by the company for the new FINAT website platform. The search database is one of the most frequently visited pages on the FINAT website and is used by visitors to search for label and label industry suppliers. As requested previously when the new website was launched, FINAT members are kindly requested to review their own company details as currently listed, and to make sure that these are updated as appropriate. |

How Label Companies Can Win in the Smart Products Revolution - Blog by Andy Hobsbawm, Co-founder and CMO of EVRYTHNG |
|
The phrase “data is the new oil” sums it up perfectly. Raw materials like railway steel, motorway concrete, labour, and oil were the critical raw materials for the economy in the last century, and data is the equivalent input for the 21st century. Any company expecting to thrive (or even survive) in our new connected economy must learn how to generate, capture, and leverage data to create digital analytics and applications that can digitally evolve their businesses. And this includes label companies. |
