The challenge

Mattel faced outdated, monolithic tech stacks with disorganized asset-management processes, long turnaround times, and poor performance during peak periods such as flash sales. These issues caused timeouts and page load failures.

The solution

Mattel implemented Cloudinary's AI-powered platform within a MACH-based composable architecture for asset optimization, transformation, and delivery across channels.

Before Cloudinary, flash sales would often break due to content delivery issues. With Cloudinary, we've eliminated those challenges, allowing us to scale and serve content without disruption.
