E.Leclerc, France's largest retail cooperative, struggled with Adobe Experience Manager and Dynamic Media Classic, which couldn't keep pace with massive media ingestion across 23K stores. The company needed a headless, scalable alternative. Scaleflex migrated 12.5 million master assets to Filerobot DAM with auto-resizing, smart tagging, and strong API integration. The results were immediate: five times lower total cost of ownership, three times faster implementation, and seamless URL mapping. E.Leclerc now delivers optimized images at scale, supporting rapid growth without legacy system constraints.
The Company
Founded in 1949, E.Leclerc's mission is to democratize consumption by offering essentials at the lowest prices. Today, the cooperative brand brings millions of shoppers across France affordable goods via 734 stores and 731 drive-thrus while expanding its e-commerce footprint.
The Challenge
E.Leclerc relied on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and Adobe Dynamic Media Classic, which struggled to handle massive media ingestion. The platform's slow performance and limitations made it hard to support their growing e-commerce needs. High maintenance, development, and licensing costs added financial pressure, prompting the search for a more flexible, cost-effective, and powerful alternative.
The Solution
“E.Leclerc made a strategic decision to migrate to Scaleflex's Filerobot Digital Asset Management & Cloudimage Media Acceleration solutions to solve challenges with their media management."
Olivier Naro
Project Lead
E.Leclerc migrated to Scaleflex's Filerobot Digital Asset Management and Cloudimage Media Acceleration. With MACH-certified headless capabilities and robust APIs, the teams could make agile enhancements and tailor integrations. Fast synchronization improved ingestion and overall performance. CLI-driven operations including auto-resizing on upload, smart-tagging, version control, and intuitive search streamlined governance and sped up time-to-market. The transition was completed without business interruption and delivered significant cost savings.
The Results
The migration delivered measurable wins. E.Leclerc successfully moved 12.5 million master assets to Filerobot, mapping existing Scene7 URLs to new endpoints without front-end changes ensuring no business interruption. Implementation was three times faster than with previous providers, while maintenance, development, and licensing expenses dropped fivefold. With improved ingestion speed, responsive support, and GDPR-aligned data protection, the teams boosted productivity and accelerated time-to-market.
