3D DAM

Challenge

BMW was struggling with identifying duplicate assets within their extensive 3D library. Different global teams were repurchasing existing assets, leading to unnecessary expenses.

Results

By deploying echo3D's 3D DAM platform on AWS, BMW was able to effectively store and share massive amounts of 3D scans across different departments. Our centralized system allowed cross-functional teams to search for and discover 3D content, reducing spend on incompatible assets and duplicates. BMW saved over $500,000 on repurchasing existing assets.

$500,000
Cost Savings on Duplicate Assets

We couldn't search for existing models across the organization and ended up purchasing duplicate assets. With echo3D we can find our models and detect duplicates to save money.

About BMW

BMW is a German manufacturer of luxury vehicles and motorcycles, recognized globally for its premium quality and innovative designs.

The Challenge

BMW, a global leader in luxury vehicles and motorcycles, faced a significant challenge with identifying duplicate assets within their extensive 3D library. With different global teams repurchasing existing assets, BMW was incurring unnecessary expenses. They needed a solution to streamline their 3D workflows and eliminate the cost of redundant purchases.

The Solution

BMW reached out to echo3D to discuss issues with their 3D workflow. echo3D work with BMW to deploy the echo3D 3D digital asset management (DAM) platform on BMW's cloud environment. This allowed BMW to address their duplicate assets and manage their 3D assets effectively . By deploying echo3D's platform on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environment used by BMW, the latter was able to store and share massive amounts of 3D scans across different departments. Our centralized repository allowed cross-functional teams to search for and discover 3D content, which were saved and tagged systematically.

The Results

The implementation of echo3D's 3D digital asset management platform resulted in significant cost savings for BMW. By minimizing spend on incompatible assets and duplicates, BMW saved over $500,000 on repurchasing existing assets. The centralized system not only streamlined their 3D workflows but also optimized resource utilization and enhanced collaboration across global teams.
