THE FINAT MEMBERS-ONLY PORTAL:
A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION BEHIND THE PASSWORD!
One of the objectives which will be even more intensified is the use of the online Members Area. Last year more members created their own online profile, but still not many members are aware of the content which is available free of charge for all employees of member companies, and which is accessible once a personal profile has been made. This is very easily done, by entering your own office e-mail address on the login page (the system will recognise the company domain name). After this you can set up your own password and complete and edit your own profile. A user guide on how to register is available at the FINAT Secretariat.
Once a member has a personal profile, he can start using the benefits of the online Members Area, by accessing the wealth of knowledge and information hidden behind the password! A lot of content is available free of charge via the Library, such as relevant articles on the label industry, proceedings of previous FINAT events, the Technical Handbook in several languages and more. For example, ALL e-modules are downloadable here, so when you have a new employee, you can show him this great source of information and he will learn the basics of label printing and other relevant knowledge of the label industry. Some company members already do this with great success. The e-modules can also be used as a source of information when preparing a meeting with customers or other third parties.
And very soon, FINAT will also introduce the FINAT RADAR, which includes statistics on the label market. This information will be available on the Members Area only, so make sure to create your online profile as soon as possible if not done so already, and check this area regularly.
Also with more non-members visiting the general website, it is very beneficial for member companies to make use of the exposure they get online when being a FINAT member. All members are included in the Member Directory, which is accessible for all website visitors. Here, visitors can search through our member database filtering on type, product and country (fig. 3). Member companies can edit their profile with contact details themselves after creating their own personal profile and becoming the main contact of a company (a main contact has to be set by the FINAT Community Manager, so make sure you inform the FINAT Secretariat once you have created your own profile).
