About The Customer

Founded in 1957, Bisazza is one of the world’s leading luxury brands in the design sector and an innovative leader in the production of glass mosaic for interior and exterior decoration. The company offers a wide range of luxury décor and furnishings suitable for any living and outdoor area. Its distinctive products and collaborations with some of the world’s most renowned designers express a unique style that brings a contemporary flair to classic designs. Based in Italy, Bisazza has flagship stores in Milan, Paris, London, and New York and works with distributors around the world.

The Challenge

Bisazza, a leading luxury brand in the design sector, faced a significant challenge in managing its vast archive of digital assets. These assets included images, multimedia content, technical product details, and sales-related materials. The company's marketing department sought more control over how these digital assets were distributed and archived. The challenge was to find a digital asset management platform that could centralize and organize content, making digital assets easier to locate and distribute. The goal was to manage a large and complex digital archive more flexibly. The company needed a solution that could handle approximately 1,300 documents, 100 videos, and 13,000 images.

The Solution

Bisazza partnered with Canto, a digital asset management platform. Canto's metadata import feature allowed Bisazza to migrate its vast content archive into a single source of truth. Assets could be uploaded and bulk tagged all at once, which enabled the team to keep its metadata consistent and easily updatable in the future. Canto's platform also provided bulk upload features that made it easy to edit and update metadata at any time, ensuring that files were easy to locate with a simple search. When new assets were uploaded to Canto, they were quickly reviewed to maintain quality and consistency. Approved assets were then sorted into the proper folders and portals for easy access and distribution. Non-approved assets were archived to ensure they were not lost, but they were not shared with any users.

Operational Impact

The implementation of Canto's digital asset management platform has significantly improved Bisazza's operational efficiency. The platform has not only made it easier to locate specific files with a quick tag or metadata search, but it has also redefined the way people within the company access and use content. Multiple departments can now adjust assets to meet their unique needs without sacrificing quality or creating version confusion. When Bisazza launches a new collection, it uses Canto’s portal feature to place the assets associated with those products in a dedicated location that can be accessed by all of the company’s foreign branches. This ensures that everyone will be accessing the same content, such as images, price lists, tech sheets, and training books, and that the content will be up-to-date and consistent across the company.
