Hanna Andersson Selects Scene7’s Infinite™ Imaging Platform
NOVATO, CA — May 25, 2004 — Scene7, the leading provider of dynamic imaging software, today announced that Hanna Andersson has licensed Scene7`s Infinite Imaging™ Platform to provide enhanced imagery for its e-commerce Website. Hanna Andersson, a manufacturer and multi-channel retailer of high-quality, European-styled clothing, plans to add dynamic color changing and image zooming to promote the variety and quality of its product line.
“We are very impressed with the breadth of Scene7’s functionality and superior image quality,” said Robyn Thomson, Web Designer for Hanna Andersson. “Scene7’s dynamic imaging platform will enable us to cost-effectively deliver imagery that shows off the quality of our premium clothing, which will ultimately increase our revenues while providing our customers a more satisfying online experience.”
Hanna Andersson plans to utilize Scene7’s platform to create photo-quality rendered images in different colors from a single master image. These “clickable color swatches” will enable Website visitors to dynamically view items in all available colors using existing single item and on model imagery. By re-purposing expensive photography, Hanna Andersson will avoid costly re-shooting of every item with every color option – realizing savings of up to 50%. Then by incorporating Scene7’s proprietary zooming and panning capabilities, Hanna Andersson will feature detailed areas on the image, highlighting to customers unique product details such as fabric, construction, and trim accessories.
All image production including batch colorizing and zooming of images is performed using Scene7’s browser-based management and publishing system. This easy-to-use application allows both non-technical and technical users to create and publish the master images and commands to dynamically generate imagery for both Website and offline uses. The automation of these repetitive image processing tasks enables Hanna Andersson to achieve production efficiencies and drastically reduce the time and costs associated with visual media production.
"We are proud to name Hanna Andersson as a customer," said Doug Mack, CEO of Scene7. “The company’s reputation for delivering quality merchandise along with charitable works for children and the community make them a great partner to work with and fits our corporate culture.”
