Turning a manual leaflet process into an AI-built system in days

For Dr.Max

Overview

We replaced a fragmented, manual leaflet process with a purpose-built system — and used AI to put a working version in Dr. Max's hands within days.

The Situation

Every leaflet started in a spreadsheet.

Dr. Max, a leading European pharmaceutical retail group operating across Central and Eastern Europe, built its promotional leaflets almost entirely by hand. Product data lived in exported Excel files, items were added one by one, and historical information had to be tracked down manually each time.

Products were individually cut out of finished PDFs, and every leaflet meant slow, fragmented back-and-forth between Dr. Max, its creative agency, and dozens of suppliers. It worked but it consumed time, capacity, and attention at every step.

The Real Problem

Manual work that was both costly and easy to get wrong.

The process didn't just take time — it left constant room for inconsistencies, and the coordination overhead grew with every supplier and every edition. Time, capacity, and attention were being spent on repetitive work instead of the leaflets themselves.

Dr. Max needed one reliable system: a single source of truth for product data, a faster production cycle, and a workflow designed to cut manual effort by more than half.

Our Approach

01

Discovery & brief. We opened with a single call to define Dr. Max's real workflow and lock the brief — so everything we built mapped to how the team actually works.

02

AI-accelerated MVP. Using AI, we stood up a functional MVP in just a few days — a working system in the client's hands fast, not weeks of slideware.

03

Iterative refinement. We tuned features and resolved edge cases based on real feedback gathered during hands-on testing, shaping the system around live use.

What We Built

Import & Merge Engine

Excel import with built-in validation and intelligent conflict resolution, so product data lands clean every time.

Centralized Product Library

One source of truth holding images, prices, EAN codes, claims, seasonality, and full usage history for every product.

Visual Leaflet Editor

An interactive grid with color-coded data-quality indicators that show at a glance what's complete and what's missing.

Automation Engine

One-click supplier messages for missing data, plus automatic slicing of final PDFs into individual product images by grid.

The Outcome

Delivered, deployed, and already in production.

The system is live. Dr. Max has already used it to prepare its first real leaflet. By automating the most repetitive steps and consolidating product data into a single source of truth, it's built to cut manual effort by more than 50% while speeding up both supplier communication and the overall production cycle.

Testimonial

“Professionalism, a human approach, and useful solutions.”
