The Need

Our customer is the leading provider of customized gifting solutions. In order to create custom gifts, the end-users upload photographs in inconsistent sizes and shape that need to be modified before being used for making the gifts. A team of analysts will have to process these images from the OMS system to resize the image, change the pixels based on the need, and crop accordingly. Due to the increase in volume of images coming from the end-users, the analysts had to spend most of the day resizing them.

The retailer witnessed a huge spike in the customized gifts unit in the recent days and especially during festive seasons. As the demand for customized gifts surged during the festive season, our customer was looking for an automation solution to expedite the order management process and improve business outcomes.
