A major global auction house needed in-house photography to be ingested into their production system with metadata applied and automatically generate several different resolutions and color profiles to each file, and then file the new versions away into a predictable path for a 3rd party application to retrieve; NAPC enabled this automated functionality via Xinet’s API.

A very large shoe retailer revamped their e-commerce system to be able to programmatically pull a specific size and colorspace preview for all photos of a single item. Since Xinet doesn’t enable this action natively NAPC wrote a hook for the client’s e-commerce system to call. As part of the project NAPC worked with the client to create a metadata element for the e-commerce sites and designed a way to embed this data in each file.

One of the world’s most well-known audio brands had 2-competing needs for their retail presence – holding onto data for many years while not adding storage each year to keep pace with the data growth. Using integrated archiving NAPC enabled keeping as much data as needed in an intuitive, easy to use archival system. Initially going to tape but now cloud, archiving has become second nature to this client who actually saves money since users are comfortable archiving assets off of spinning disk quickly after jobs are closed.

A major paint manufacturer needed a way to match products visually. NAPC built an image matching program atop Xinet that allowed their users to drag and drop images into a browser, which called out to the ‘Tineye’ search resource for image matches. We wrote the interface as well as enabled the ability to automatically RIP and send preview images to a 3rd party engine.

A major retailer wanted to integrate Xinet with Comasoft. NAPC assisted their in house developers and worked with Comasoft personnel to assist in getting this up and running with suggested best practices.

One of the top-3 national pizza chains ran an internal website for their stores to log into and wanted that login to pass through to Xinet to enable a seamless experience. A major caveat was not wanting end user credentials ingested into the AD forest where the Xinet server lived. NAPC wrote an authentication login securely allowing only qualified users through.
