You may want to create a camera profile based on the lighting at your client's. I built one based on an IT8.7/2 target using LPROF free software (
http://lprof.sourceforge.net/). Easy and fast, average dE below 3 after calibration, compared to average dE higher than 10 using the camera manufacturer's profile.
After the calibration I created a contrast curve to reflect correct tonality of the grey patches. The overall workflow gives nice results even with batch processing.
24 patches seem few to build a profile though. The IT8 has 264 patches + grey levels. Some targets have close to 1000 patches, but that may be overkill.
Total cost was about 10 EUR for the IT8 target, plus a lot of time reading about color management. Both time and money seem to be well spent. Probably a more expensive commercial solution will work better, but this approach got me at least in the ballpark.
