The creator of online document editing software, Chili Publish, has been named by UNIZO as Belgium’s ‘Most Promising SMB’ in a highly competitive national competition.
The company was one of five regional finalists selected for award, and was awarded on Belgium’s National Entrepreneur Day
‘We are absolutely thrilled to be the recipient of this important recognition,’ commented Bram Verniest, COO. ‘The award is especially exciting in light of the fact that we don’t manufacture a hard goods product, raw materials or machines. Software manufacturing requires the collaboration of a lot of smart, passionate people, and the UNIZO award recognises those smart and hard-working people that make up the Chili Publish team. My hearty congratulations go out to my colleagues at Chili Publish whose passion and dedication made this national recognition possible.’
The company’s flagship product is Chili Publisher which offers more than 150 editing, layout, and design tools that can be used with a variety of document formats, including PDF files, XML-based documents, Collada files, and those imported from Adobe InDesign.
The solution also provides users with the ability to view edits, folding, and even personalised objects, in 3D. Administrators can give users varying degrees of access, depending on their skills and permission level. All job sizes and formats, from single pages through multi-page documents and snippets of articles; up-to to the most complex, odd-sized, folded die-cuts and packaging items, are accepted.
System integrators can choose how to incorporate CHILI Publisher software into any workflows and applications, such as web to print, magazine publishing, packaging, brand management, and yearbooks
‘The UNIZO award validates our product development and go-to-market strategies,’ Mr Verniest added, ‘It gives us extra encouragement to continue on the path we have been traveling. We are also grateful to the many partners and customers around the world that have recognized the power of Chili Publisher and have integrated it into their products and daily workflows.’
UNIZO is a Belgian advocacy group dedicated to protecting the interests of entrepreneurs, sole proprietors and professionals in all fields and at all socio-economic levels in the Flemish Region, at the federal level and in the European Union.
