The Challenge: Delivering Assets in Every Format Required


However, everyone needed the same assets in different sizes and formats:

  • High‑res versions for brochures and trade shows

  • Web‑optimised images for product pages

  • Social‑ready formats for LinkedIn and Instagram

  • Lightweight versions for e-mail marketing

GEA lacked an easy way to resize or transform assets, and duplicate versions were stored.

Asset Bank transforms the files into the right format and resolution instantly, eliminating the need for multiple duplicates.
