The Challenge
Sendify, a logistics company based in Sweden, was in the process of building two new websites to implement new brand guidelines and improve site structures. The company wanted to incorporate images on both websites to enhance the user experience. However, managing these image assets posed a significant challenge. Images were stored in various locations, including local files on computers and different folders on Google Drive. This disorganized storage system led to developers spending up to ten minutes searching for a single image. Additionally, any transformation to the images, even minor ones, required the involvement of a graphic designer. With hundreds of images and multiple transformations for each, this process was time-consuming and hindered the daily progress on the websites.
About The Customer
Sendify is a logistics company based in Gothenburg, Sweden. It offers an online tool that simplifies logistics by creating a network for shippers and transport companies. Sendify's combination of a freight network and transport management system enables companies to compare price and delivery times between leading carriers, book and track shipments. The company was in the process of building two new websites to implement new brand guidelines and improve site structures, with a focus on enhancing the user experience through the use of images.
The Solution
To address its image management challenges, Sendify turned to Cloudinary, a cloud-based image and video management solution recommended by one of its developers. Cloudinary's tools allow web and mobile app developers to streamline media management and deliver an optimal end user experience. Sendify now stores over 4,000 images in Cloudinary. For every image uploaded, at least one transformation is performed to ensure it is optimized for the websites and minimizes load time. This integrated storage and transformation process has made Sendify's operations more organized and efficient.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
