The challenge: Wolt's business, spanning 27 countries, relies on high-quality images that prompt consumers to place orders, directly influencing revenue generation for over 140,000 merchants. The manual process of photo editing was too labor-intensive and this made finding a scalable, AI-powered photo editing solution essential to accommodate Wolt's expanding global operations and maintain image consistency and quality.
Our solution: Integrating Photoroom's image editing API was a strategic move for Wolt, enabling the brand to create a photo editing workflow for their extensive image inventory, utilizing various AI features to provide a more scalable, accurate, lean and fast process.
Results: Wolt streamlined their imaging operations, improving timeliness and quality, which allowed for a smoother customer experience and significant resource savings.
Achieving consistency and efficiency in global imaging operations
As a rising Finnish company with 10,000 team members active across 27 countries, Wolt is dedicated to delivering a wide range of goods from over 140,000 merchants to customers' hands in minutes. It's no secret that shoppers prefer to see what they're ordering, so speeding up the decision-making process from app to doorstep is made easier with consistent, high-quality visuals that show the goods in their best light.
With this in mind, the brand faced a number of hurdles in their photo editing processes, and the need for a robust solution to deliver fast and accurate editing was non-negotiable. Wolt's growth also brought the challenge of maintaining an efficient and consistent product operation since the manual background removal process was time-consuming and lacked precision and scalability for its vast inventory.
"One of the best things about Photoroom is its simplicity. It's intuitive and user-friendly, unlike some editing tools that can be overwhelming. This ease of use minimizes the need for extensive training, making it a great fit for our global team with different technical backgrounds." - Jeff Strauss, Director of Imaging Operations, Wolt
