01 / The problem
What the business needed to solve.
Audiobook publishing involves multiple production stages, platform-specific requirements, transfer steps, and records of what is live. Managing those moving parts across spreadsheets can make exceptions difficult to see.
The objectives
- 01Connect the publishing stages in one operational view
- 02Expose stalled items and exceptions early
- 03Make reporting and reconciliation more dependable
02 / The solution
A more useful digital experience.
Pixeldust Interactive designed a centralized workflow experience for catalog intake, publishing stages, handoffs, status evidence, exception review, and sales reporting.
Exception handling
Bottlenecks and missing information become visible tasks instead of hidden spreadsheet notes.
Operational reporting
Status and sales views make the ongoing publishing operation easier to evaluate.
03 / Business value
How the work helped the business.
The work addressed a real challenge for SOLTI—improving the experience for customers, teams, or both.
Less manual coordination
Operators spend less time chasing status across disconnected tools.
Fewer overlooked exceptions
Issues become easier to spot and resolve before they block a batch.
Better management visibility
