16× faster image processing for Comart Group
Comart's team uploaded, processed and downloaded images one by one, at about 3 minutes each. We built bulk upload with automated background removal (remove.bg API), stored history and batch downloads.
Comart Group is a pioneering technology, media and advertising conglomerate with roots tracing back to 1934. From its inception as a publishing and print business, Comart has transformed into a diversified powerhouse, driven by the entrepreneurial spirit of its management and the dedication of its vast employee base. With a significant presence in India and a global outreach, Comart consistently harnesses technology to deliver innovative solutions to leading brands.
The Challenge
While Comart had already used remove.bg into their workflow for image background removal, the process was far from optimal. Each image had to be uploaded and processed individually, a time-consuming endeavour. However, each image took an average of 3 minutes to upload, process and download individually. For a batch of 100 images:
Time taken individually=3 minutes/image×100 images=300 minutes
Moreover, the lack of a history storage feature posed challenges for future retrievals.
The Solution
Comart's new system introduced:
Bulk Uploads
Users can upload multiple images at once to a software...
Automated Processing
The software, leveraging the remove.bg API, processes the images in bulk, eliminating the need for individual uploads.
History Storage
Post-processing, the images, along with their history, are stored securely. This ensures that any image can be easily retrieved in the future.
The time saved
Time saved=300 minutes−16.5 minutes=283.3 minutes.
Easy Downloads
Users can effortlessly download the processed images to their local machines whenever required.
With the new system, Bulk processing reduces the time per image to just 10 seconds per image. For the same batch of 100 images:
Time with bulk processing= 10 seconds/image×100 images= 16.5 minutes
Results
Time Efficiency
The new system saved Comart 283.3 minutes for every batch of 100 images processed.
Consistent Quality
Leveraging the remove.bg API ensured high-quality results.
Enhanced Productivity
The team could process 16 times more images in the same amount of time.
Secure Storage
The history storage functionality guarantees effortless access and retrieval of any image. In conclusion, this feature also results in financial savings by eliminating the need to reprocess the same image.
Conclusion
By optimizing their use of remove.bg through an automated bulk processing system, Comart Group achieved significant time savings and enhanced productivity. The added feature of history storage further streamlined their workflow, ensuring no image was ever lost & leading to cost savings. This case study exemplifies Comart's commitment to continuous improvement and its proactive approach to leveraging technology for operational excellence.
