Plus, you can add more than one storefront, managing product personalization for different websites from a single location.

Unified Hub for Managing Your Web-to-Print Project 

In the digital age, simplicity is the new sophistication. CCHub takes this philosophy to heart by providing a unified hub that places everything you need right at your fingertips. Here's what makes this cloud service a superior choice for streamlining your workflow: 

• Simplicity. With CCHub, there's no juggling between various platforms or applications. Whether it's products, images, color schemes, or fonts, everything is housed in one place. This centralized approach eliminates complexity, saving you time and reducing potential errors. 
• Accessibility. The power of CCHub is available to you anywhere, anytime. Whether you're in the office or on the move, the admin panel can be accessed from any device, ensuring that you have complete control over your web-to-print platform, regardless of location.

Improved Product Setup

CCHub's commitment to innovation is evident in its approach to product setup. By revamping traditional methods and incorporating modern tools and technologies, it offers a streamlined, user-friendly experience. Here's a closer look at the new enhancements:

• New Way for Product Management. Setting up complex products with multiple options and variants has never been this intuitive. Forget the cumbersome naming conventions of the past. With the new "Products" tab, CCHub introduces a brand-new framework that simplifies product management based on options and variations. This not only makes it easier to use but also significantly reduces the learning curve.
• Flexible Personalization Workflow Library. Personalization is at the core of today's online printing solutions, and CCHub excels in this area. Whether it's online editors, preflight checks, multi-step interfaces, or simplified form-based editors, CCHub's library of personalization workflows can be tailored to meet almost every conceivable requirement.
• Enhanced Template Management. Say goodbye to markers and tedious documentation. With CCHub, you can effortlessly import existing templates created in Adobe or InDesign, and then adjust their behavior in the Template editor. It's an easier, more intuitive way to set up templates. CCHub can parse design elements from PSD and IDML files, and you can even create simple templates directly within the admin panel.
• Advanced Asset Connectors. Visual asset management is a breeze with CCHub. Once you've prepared all visual assets, such as templates and mockups, you can easily bind them to the appropriate product variant. Need to add new templates on the fly? No problem. With CCHub, you can do so without changing the product.

Advanced Order Management: Print-Ready File Specifications and Delivery Process 

Managing client projects has taken a leap forward with CCHub. Where once order management depended on the host platform, now it functions as a robust built-in feature, making the entire process more efficient and hassle-free.

• See all Your Projects in One Place. With CCHub's Projects section, you have a complete overview of all your orders, connected seamlessly with the Orders section in your e-commerce system. When a customer makes a purchase, order details such as print-ready file, product variation, and more are automatically synchronized with your e-commerce platform.
• Streamline Project Storage. All projects are now meticulously organized and automatically purged upon completion, by default. This not only streamlines your order processing experience but also aligns with data retention policies. Plus, you have the flexibility to modify the data retention policy to facilitate future reordering.
• Overview Projects. Gain complete visibility into the status of each project. Check for errors, fix mistypes, and correct design flaws. The intuitive interface lets you manage every aspect of the order with ease and precision.
• Process Order Delivery. Sending order information to production is now a breeze. With CCHub, you can choose the most convenient method for you, whether it's sending it to an FTP server, Email, or via an API call to the integrated order management system. Even integration with services like Zapier is a straightforward process.

By consolidating all order-related tasks into a single, user-friendly platform, CCHub allows you to focus on what truly matters - delivering top-quality products to your customers. With CCHub, the complex task of order management transforms into a smooth, streamlined process, providing you with the tools you need to excel in today's demanding web-to-print landscape.

Servers in the US and Europe

In an era where data protection and compliance are paramount, CCHub takes significant strides in ensuring that your business operates within the strict regulations of the GDPR. The introduction of Europe-based servers, complementing the existing US ones, is a testament to our commitment to data security and accessibility. Here's how this crucial update benefits you:

• Compliance with Data Protection Laws. By offering servers both in the US and Europe, CCHub enables you to comply with GDPR regulations effortlessly. If your business caters to European customers, storing their data within the EU jurisdiction can be a legal requirement, and CCHub ensures that you meet this obligation without any additional complexity.
• Enhanced Speed and Performance. The addition of the European server isn't just about compliance; it's about improving the user experience. By allowing you to choose between US or Europe-based servers, CCHub ensures that the editor loads faster for your customers. This reduction in latency translates to a more responsive and pleasant experience for end-users.

CCHub's addition of a Europe-based server is more than a nod to legal compliance; it's a strategic enhancement that adds value to your operation.

Security and Collaboration 

In a landscape where collaboration and security must coexist, CC Hub offers a balanced environment that nurtures both. By incorporating features such as Single Sign-On (SSO), role-based access, and two-factor verification, CC Hub ensures that your team can operate smoothly without sacrificing the integrity of your data and processes. Let's explore these features in detail: 

• Single Sign-On (SSO).  SSO simplifies the login process by enabling users to access CCHub using a single login credential. This not only enhances the user experience but also strengthens security by reducing the number of passwords that need to be managed and potentially compromised. 
• Role-Based Access Control.  CCHub allows you to define roles for team members, such as admins, content managers, and more. By assigning specific permissions to each role, you ensure that team members have access only to the functions they need, thereby maintaining the principle of least privilege and enhancing internal security. 
• Two-Factor Authentication. Adding an extra layer of security, two-factor verification via Email ensures that access to CC Hub requires not just a password but also a secondary verification method. This robust authentication process makes unauthorized access much more difficult, keeping your data and systems safe. 
• Comprehensive Security Measures.  Alongside these features, CC Hub continues to employ stringent security protocols to guard against threats. Whether it's the encryption of sensitive data or regular security audits, you can trust that CCHub is committed to protecting your business. 

By making collaboration easy without sacrificing security, CC Hub empowers businesses to work smarter and safer. These integrated tools and functionalities underscore CC Hub's commitment to providing a comprehensive web-to-print solution that aligns with the modern demands of teamwork and cybersecurity.
