The challenge

To stay ahead of its competition, Bricocenter needed optimized images to improve conversion rates and the user experience of its e‑commerce store. Growing traffic and device diversity meant pages needed to load fast and adapt to different screen sizes without overloading infrastructure or budgets.

Non‑responsive images created inconsistent UX across devices and screen densities.
High bandwidth consumption drove up CDN and storage costs.
Traffic peaks risked stressing the main server during busy periods.

The solution

GlobalDots partnered with Scaleflex to deliver media optimization and multi‑CDN delivery tailored to Bricocenter’s needs. Using Cloudimage, all product and content visuals were optimized automatically and delivered responsively, ensuring every shopper received images adapted to their device. This approach streamlined operations and offloaded processing and delivery from origin systems.

Automatic generation of responsive images adapted to different sizes and pixels of users’ screens and devices.
On‑the‑fly optimization and CDN delivery tailored to Bricocenter’s e‑commerce needs.
Protection of the main server from traffic peaks via edge delivery.
Consistent visual quality at reduced file sizes.

The result

With Cloudimage media optimization, Bricocenter optimized 32 million images automatically. Automatic responsive delivery improved UX by matching image size and pixel density to each device, cutting unnecessary payload. They achieved an 87% reduction in bandwidth, reducing CDN and storage costs while protecting the main server from traffic peaks. Together with GlobalDots and Scaleflex, Bricocenter now serves faster pages that scale reliably during demand spikes.
