About the Customer
The Problem
Uniformity of content across different marketplaces was a significant challenge for the customer,, as the company operates in various regions and markets, each with its unique needs and regulations. Maintaining consistency in the content across different marketplaces is crucial for maintaining the brand image and reputation of them. However, without a centralized platform to manage the content, it was challenging to ensure that the content was consistent and met the company’s standards.
Another issue that the customer faced was the lack of a common platform for quality control (QC) of all the company’s products’ content and images. With different teams and departments handling different products, there was no way to ensure that the content and images were accurate and up-to-date across all products. This led to inconsistencies in the information provided to customers, resulting in a negative impact on the brand image and customer trust.
Approval workflows were also a challenge for them. With different teams and departments working on different products, it was difficult to establish a clear and efficient approval process for the content and images. This led to delays in getting the content and images approved and published, resulting in lost opportunities for the company.
Iksula’s Engagement
Iksula, a digital solutions provider, was approached by the customer to address the challenge of maintaining uniformity of content across different marketplaces. To address this challenge, Iksula deployed its proprietary Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution built in Drupal, that would store all product and campaign data in a centralized repository, making it easily accessible to marketplaces.
The DAM solution deployed by Iksula had several key features that helped the customer to manage their content effectively. The first feature was a centralized repository that allowed them to store all their product and campaign data in one place, making it easy for different teams and departments to access the information they needed.
The second feature was mobile responsiveness, which allowed the customer to access the DAM solution on any device, making it easy for teams to manage content while on the go.
The third feature was asset version control, which allowed the customer to keep track of different versions of the same asset and revert to a previous version if needed.
The fourth feature was batch uploads and downloads, which made it easy for the customer to upload and download large numbers of assets at once, saving time and effort.
The fifth feature was user access control, which allowed the customer to limit access to the DAM solution to specific users and teams, ensuring that sensitive information was only accessible to authorized personnel.
Finally, Iksula created a Quality Control (QC) process for the customer’s product content, with different status for different roles. This QC process helped them to ensure that the content was accurate and up-to-date across all products, and that it met the company’s standards.
