Gocar integrated Scaleflex's Media Asset Widget in half a day across two web applications, saving several weeks of development and QA. The Belgian car advertising platform, with more than 60,000 cars online and over 100,000 daily visitors, needed an uploader, gallery and image editor for its ad creation journey and back office. The modular widget fitted both a React app and a pure JavaScript one, and pre-upload resizing speeds up uploads and reduces storage.
The Company
Gocar.be is a Belgian platform for online car advertisements, providing all the information you need for the car of your dreams. With more than 60,000 cars online and over 100,000 daily visitors, the platform serves both private and professional users, helping buyers find vehicles and dealers present stock to a large, varied audience.
The Challenge
As part of redesigning the user journey for creating ads, the team needed a multi‑functional uploader with a gallery and image editor in React, plus an upload module with tagging for the back office in pure JS. Building in‑house would take weeks and require ongoing maintenance. Assembling separate tools (uploader, editor, gallery) risked complexity and customization overhead. After evaluating options, they looked for a modular, ready‑to‑use solution.
The Solution
“Filerobot helped us save a lot of time in development. We now use it in our sales funnel, in our back office and that’s just the beginning!”
Philippe Bloom
Lead Developer
Filerobot, a headless DAM with media optimization, offered a modular, ready‑to‑use approach. Using the Media Asset Widget, Gocar gained a comprehensive uploader, gallery, and image editor that saved several weeks of development time. The widget was integrated quickly across two apps-one in React, one in pure JS-while keeping a clean, easy‑to‑use interface for end users.
The Results
The team integrated the widget in just half a day on two web applications, saving several weeks of development and QA. Modularity allowed them to tailor the widget to specific flows, while the clean UI improved the contributor experience. Uploads became easier and more efficient thanks to the distributed ingestion infrastructure (“reverse CDN”). Pre‑upload resizing accelerated uploads and reduced storage, and the integrated image editor enabled quick on‑the‑fly edits. The solution scales with optional modules, such as capturing images directly via a smartphone camera on the mobile version.
