Big and mid-sized firms can really leverage the flexibility and value using the different tools all available at one place in the collection and also the integration with Adobe apps like photoshop, really makes it a seamless experience especially in fast paced production environments like advertising. For many film and game studios the whole collection might not be that much helpful as only painter will be of much use. For the small and indie studio it might be a costlier option and they can consider similar free or cheaper alternatives.
On the efficiency of logistic work (warehousing, stock-taking, sending out products to end customers) Omnipack was very efficient and we were not complaining about this. It was unfortunately way worse in the area of communication and the way we were treated by them. Our SPC was changed multiple times over the course of our cooperation (ca. 2 years) and it was difficult to sort out anything with them. A lot of invoices that we received included some strange positions that we were disagreeing with. We did not feel like we were real partners to them. All this led to our decision of resigning from cooperation with Omnipack and switch to the competition.
The overall usability of substance stager and painter is quite easy. Many people will be able to use it without much prior experience. But designer is very complicated to learn and not many resources available for that. I think if they integrate the AI and provide better resources in the general interface, it could be a 10 on 10 in usability.
For texturing, Adobe Substance 3D is much better than the other options. In other fields, it's another story. I find it excellent for game engines and realistic renders, but it only solves textures. We, then, move to Blender because it has more compatibility with exports, and we can import them into our preferred render engine. We mostly use Unreal Engine, but also Blender3D to do the final rendering.
When we talk about drop shipping operations Shopify is the number 1 in the world for all the major demands, so they solve a lot of questions that are pre-requisites for the business. Omnipack came as a supplementary and additional tool to solve a logistical problem that exists because the business was previously helped by Shopify.
Positive: when things were going smooth, Omnipack was very efficient and timely in sending out the orders to end customers.
Negative: endless discussions about discursive invoicing, unclear processes, etc. led to inefficient utilization of our employees.
In case us being late with the payment, Omnipack was stopping any activities and keeping our stock (we could not take even a part of it - even though the stock value was more than 10x the amount due).
