APRIL is a French company that creates, manages and distributes insurance solutions and assistance services for individuals, professionals and companies. As part of its ongoing digital transformation, the refactoring of April.fr surfaced new demands for media management and optimization within Prismic.
"Au lieu d'empiler les prestataires, AKQA a recommandé à juste titre Filerobot et son approche de couteau suisse pour répondre au besoin d'APRIL en matière de gestion et d'optimisation des médias dans Prismic."

APRIL’s refactoring of April.fr came with strict requirements for media hosting, storage, and distribution, alongside the need to manage assets across several CMS. With Prismic not deployed on every site, the team needed to unify images, videos, and static files in one place to reduce complexity and avoid duplication. In addition, the Vue.js front end required a responsive media library that could maintain performance at scale.
Scaleflex combines Digital Asset Management with media optimization and integrates with Prismic. The Scaleflex team collaborated with AKQA to deliver an efficient plugin based on powerful APIs. Filerobot DAM REST APIs provide all that APRIL needed to upload, store, move & delete, and enrich assets with metadata. An automated sync between Prismic and Scaleflex DAM secures distribution while respecting compliance policies, with cloud storage limited to data centers in France. Media compression, on‑the‑fly optimization, responsive libraries, and CDN delivery improve SEO and UX.
APRIL consolidated digital assets into a single, compliant hub that works across multiple CMS while maintaining secure distribution policies. The automated synchronization between Prismic and Filerobot reduced operational overhead and kept assets consistent. By leveraging compression, responsive delivery and multi‑CDN distribution, APRIL improved page experience and SEO without adding new providers or workflow complexity.
