ShowLabs Spotlight: Direct-to-Commerce Asset Delivery

ShowLabs Spotlight Series: Direct-to-Commerce Asset Delivery and 3X Improvement in TTM

In the dynamic world of outdoor and action sports apparel, footwear, and accessories, getting products to market swiftly and efficiently can make all the difference. At ShowLabs, we understand the importance of streamlined operations, which is why our direct-to-commerce asset delivery is designed to save brands valuable resources and improve their time-to-market. Here’s how we do it.

Omnichannel Lens from the start of Production Planning

From the outset of production planning, ShowLabs adopts an omnichannel lens. This strategic approach ensures that every piece of content is meticulously crafted for versatile use across all brand departments or channels. By thinking ahead, we eliminate the need for multiple shoots and redundant content creation efforts. Instead, we capture everything in one go, allowing each image and video to be repurposed infinitely. This not only saves time but also guarantees consistency across marketing channels, from social media to ecommerce & marketplace platforms.

SHYFT: Digital Asset Performance

Central to our direct-to-commerce delivery model is Shyft, ShowLabs’ variant creation and syndication platform. Shyft revolutionizes the way content is handled during post-production. With Shyft, we instantly reformat, rename, resize, and even change or remove backgrounds of every image. This automation creates significant time and resource savings for brand teams, particularly for graphic designers and ecommerce channel managers who would otherwise spend countless hours on these tasks. Optimizing post-production processing is at the heart of digital asset performance. 

Seamless Integration and Instant Publishing

But Shyft’s capabilities don’t end there. One of its standout features is the ability to immediately publish or deliver files. This seamless integration into ecommerce workflows not only saves valuable time for client ecommerce team members, but also minimizes the risk of manual data entry errors. By automating these processes, brands can focus on what they do best—innovating and marketing their products.

Competitive Time-to-Market Advantage

Perhaps the most significant benefit of our direct-to-commerce delivery model is the enhanced time-to-market advantage By eliminating production redundancies and automating post-production efforts, brands can publish their content weeks ahead of their competitors. This rapid turnaround is crucial in the fast-paced world of ecommerce, where being first to market can lead to increased visibility, higher sales, and a stronger market presence. Brands that take advantage of our direct-to-commerce asset delivery see a 3X improvement in time-to-market.

At ShowLabs, our direct-to-commerce asset delivery, powered by Shyft, ensures that brands not only save valuable resources but also stay ahead of the competition. By working through an omnichannel lens from the beginning and leveraging digital asset performance technology, we help brands achieve their goals faster and more efficiently than ever before.
