Manual Development

  • Mobile Web/App Manuals image

    Production of printed manuals such as this one requires knowledge of the typography of more than 40 countries and optimized layouts for each. Details such as the type and thickness of the printing paper must be considered too.

Our Competitive Strengths

  • 01.

    From Print to Mobile and Multi Publishing

    Developments in technology have transformed the information environment and created significant demand for manuals that can be accessed anywhere, at any time.

    Hansem Global has the technology to produce materials in a variety of formats: print, mobile app, mobile web, and desktop. We offer solutions that automatically convert print content to HTML5, a format that self-adjusts to suit devices of different sizes.

    Convenience of Multilingual Manual Production

    The development of multilingual manuals entails an elaborate process that goes far beyond mere translation. This process takes the specific regulations of individual countries and regions into account, as well as the need to use culturally appropriate images and adhere strictly to a product release schedule.

    Above all, we possess advanced publishing technology and data conversion technology that support various languages and media. This is incredibly important when localizing manuals in mobile web format.

  • 03.

    Effective Reuse of Content

    When developing manuals for mass-produced products with multiple variants and models, it’s necessary both to maintain consistency and to follow a time- and cost-efficient process. Therefore, we reuse content and standardize all our data management and work processes.

    At Hansem Global, we use a standard sentence management system to prevent the same information from being expressed differently across multiple versions of the manual.

  • 04.

    Conformity with Global Standards

    By identifying the precise legal issues and global quality standards that apply to the technical documents we work with, we can ensure a high standard of compliance.

    Our information architecture and the quality of our communications conform to international standards. As a result, we produce manuals with excellent searchability, usability, readability, and language quality.
