"Working with Scaleflex has been a game-changer for our image optimization needs. Our website's performance has skyrocketed, and our users are experiencing faster load times than ever."
Before integrating Scaleflex’s Cloudimage solution, Soum struggled with slow page loads, rising image service costs, and inconsistent visuals across the marketplace. These issues affected user experience and added operational friction. Soum needed to reduce image weight without sacrificing quality, introduce faster loading, and support richer product displays such as 360° views.
Excessively long loading times for users High costs on image service providers Inconsistent presentation of images and inadequate cropping Cloudimage helped Soum cut image weight without losing quality, speed up loading with CDN‑backed lazy loading, and enable richer visuals like 360° product views and watermarks. The setup was completed in a single day, integrated smoothly with Amazon S3, and allowed flexible on‑the‑fly transformations for both images and videos.
