Produce: High-Volume Product Photography and Image Production Solution

Large-scale product photography projects involve many moving parts, including receiving and handling products, SKU numbers, UPCs, product categories, image views, file formats, samples, quality control, project management, reporting, and users (photographers, editors, QA resources, and managers).

Epicor DAM is a complete solution for managing all aspects of high-volume product photography and image production projects. The entire process of creating quality product images is streamlined, structured, and designed for speed, quality, organization, and visibility.

Manage: Online Portal for Organizing and Managing Digital Assets, Metadata, Trading Partners, and More

Product-centric businesses need more than an off-the-shelf DAM system. They need a system that can effectively organize thousands of products spanning multiple brands and categories. They need to manage complex asset metadata. They need to define detailed customer profiles that can be used to send digital assets and data. They need customized reporting that tells them what assets they have, what are missing, and who in their sales channels needs assets. And they need to provide anytime, anywhere access to users, groups, and internal systems.

Epicor Data Asset Management solution allows to configure the system to meet their exact needs and requirements for organizing, managing, searching, reporting, and sharing digital assets.

Distribute: Automation for Distributing Product Images and Data to Internal Systems and Customers

The biggest digital asset challenge facing product-centric businesses is formatting and sending product images and other assets to customers, resellers, and internal systems. Each one requires assets for a unique subset of products. Each one has specific formatting and naming requirements. Some want all digital assets sent while other want only those assets that have changed. And each recipient has specific delivery requirements, i.e. FTP credentials. This format and delivery puzzle is resource-intensive, time-consuming, and expensive.

Epicor Digital Asset Management provides powerful functionality to automate this process. As images and other digital assets are produced, the system will automatically format and send them according to the recipients’ profile. This saves resources, lowers costs, and gets assets into the market fast.

Capabilities

Manage Image Production Online

Epicor DAM project management portal allows you to set up complex product photography and image production projects and manage them anywhere, anytime. With Epicor DAM you can:

Upload and manage product lists
Create product and image attributes like product groups and categories
Create and assign views to products and categories
Define data to be collected during the photography process (i.e. weights and measurements)
Assign users to projects
Establish workflow steps

Customize Project Workflow Steps

Epicor DAM allows you to easily define the appropriate workflow steps regardless of the type and size of your product photography project. Some of the most common workflow steps users manage through Epicor DAM include:

Receiving products at the studio
Collecting product data
Photographing products
Editing and QA of images
Formatting and exporting images
Returning products to inventory

Every project is different – some are basic with only a few steps in the workflow process whereas other are complex involving many workflow steps. Epicor DAM can manage it all.

Control Image Quality

Epicor DAM has built-in QA processes allowing each image to be reviewed for quality. Images that do not pass QA are sent back for further editing or reshooting. Comments are included with the rejected images so editors and photographers know why they did not pass QA.

Search & Edit Images

Epicor DAM can provide visibility into the various stages of production for product photography projects of any size. Production managers can create advanced search queries to display products by production stage, allowing them to edit image information and associated metadata.

Generate Production and Image Reports

Epicor DAM collects photography and image production data and all image, product, project, and users related information. Project and system-wide dashboards display daily and monthly photography and image editing, QA, and formatting production. Custom reports can be created and downloaded for further analysis and for distribution to project stakeholders.

Manage Image Editing Process

With Epicor DAM image editing management workflows, editors can work from anywhere in the world, they can easily switch from project to project, track their production activity, and automate their image downloads and uploads. Image editors work in Photoshop without ever having to manually download or upload images. Instead, they can focus their time and effort on creating high-quality images, not on file management.

Configure DAM for your Business

Epicor DAM allows you to fully configure its DAM capabilities to meet your company’s specific digital asset management, organization, and sharing needs. Epicor DAM allows for organizations to configure:

Structure, type, and number of digital asset libraries
Type of data associated to assets
Data security and asset access
Destination profiles and asset formats required
Custom reporting on all aspects of the digital assets

Format Product Images

For sales and marketing purposes, product images are sent to internal systems, like product information management and e-commerce, and external destinations, like customers and resellers. The issue is that each one of these entities has their own unique formatting requirements involving file type, image pixel width and height, dpi, color mode, quality setting, compression, white space border, and file naming convention. Formatting manually is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and error-prone.

With Epicor DAM, a detailed profile of each entity is defined; when product images are sent, the system formats the images automatically according to the information in the profile.

Create Digital Asset Libraries

Epicor DAM library system is flexible and intuitive, allowing you to create an unlimited number of libraries, each one with a specific user-defined hierarchy. Asset libraries can be segmented based on data properties in the system; they are then grouped in a collection for long-term management or in a basket for immediate action. No matter how many brands, sub-brands, products, and types of assets your company manages, Epicor DAM gives you the freedom to organize your assets according to how they are navigated and managed— improving usability, efficiency, and accessibility.
