Card manufacturing and personalization involve a high-stakes sequence of events that must happen in a specific order. Our project managers act as architects of the implementation process, handling the intricate coordination between card manufacturers, secure personalization bureaus, and your own technical teams.

They translate your brand requirements into precise manufacturing specifications, ensuring that variables like chip profiles, antenna tuning for contactless payments, and material durability are all accounted for before the first card is even printed.

By managing the "critical path" of your project, our PMs anticipate and mitigate risks that could derail a launch. Our level of oversight ensures that your project stays on schedule, preventing the costly delays.

A project manager's most vital role is serving as the final gatekeeper of your brand’s physical integrity. During the manufacturing phase, they oversee the complex interplay of inks, foils, and laminates to ensure that the final product matches your brand guide perfectly. They manage the manufacturing process, so that every card issued meets your institution's high standards.

During the personalization and fulfillment stage, this attention to detail extends to the "unboxing" experience. Our PMs ensure that the card carriers, welcome letters, and packaging are printed to the same exacting standards as the cards themselves.

They also coordinate the logic of the "match-mail" process, ensuring that the right card is always paired with the correct personalized collateral, providing your customers with a flawless first impression of your brand.

Card programs operate within a web of strict global regulations, and our project managers are experts in navigating these requirements. This includes coordinating the secure transfer of PGP-encrypted personalization files and ensuring that all fulfillment centers used for your project are fully certified for secure card production.

Beyond technical compliance, our PMs handle the logistical complexities of fulfillment. By centralizing this logistical burden, our project managers allow your team to focus on your core business, confident that the secure distribution of your physical assets is being handled with precision and full regulatory transparency.
