It wasn’t right. Why would you put your best assets in a cupboard?” says Michael. “We provision each freelancer their own Portal so they can upload, but only see their own area.

Now salespeople can run broad or specific searches for the images they need. Having a huge product photo archive available to the sales team is creating a competitive advantage for Broxap: Competitors often rely on CGI and 3D models and can’t show the product in-situ.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“That’s where the power of the tag indexing comes in.
