Look Cycle now shares consistent, centralised visuals with ambassadors and dealers worldwide through Scaleflex DAM alongside Akeneo PIM. The French cycling brand, present in 75 countries, had managed resources in SharePoint, which made global rollouts harder as its catalogue grew past 2,000 product references. Airbox lets ambassadors upload securely, an integrated portal gives partners controlled access, and analytics show connections and asset usage to guide content planning.

The Challenge

SharePoint could not keep 2,000+ product references consistent across hundreds of resellers

A few years ago, Look Cycle launched a major digital transformation and revisited how product information and assets were distributed. Resources had been managed via SharePoint, which made global rollouts harder as the catalog grew. With over 2,000 product references, thousands of assets, and hundreds of reseller partners worldwide, the team needed an asset management solution alongside a PIM to keep information consistent and easy to share. To maintain a high-end brand image for dealers and customers internationally, they sought a more scalable, centralized way to organize, enrich, and deliver visuals and product content.

The Solution

A DAM alongside Akeneo PIM, with Airbox uploads and a dealer portal

“Thanks to the scoping and training workshops, we were able to grasp the solution quickly. All of our specific requests were implemented outside of the roadmap in a matter of weeks.”

Scaleflex DAM was selected (recommended by Synolia) to manage and distribute visual resources alongside Akeneo PIM. Visual assets were centralized on a single platform to harmonize content and simplify governance. Airbox made it easy for Look Cycle ambassadors to upload content quickly and securely, while an integrated portal provided controlled access to dealers and partners. Built-in analytics helped the team monitor partner connections and asset usage, informing content priorities. Together, this composable approach improved the product experience for customers and ensured dealer partners received consistent, high-quality resources worldwide.
