Case Study: Mecum Auctions saves 2,000+ working hours with Cloudinary
Key results
The challenge
Mecum Auctions relied on manual image retrieval and management processes that did not scale. Its legacy systems could not handle more than two million high-quality images, and optimizing images for different devices and formats was time-consuming.
The solution
Mecum adopted Cloudinary's API-first digital asset management platform, integrated with a headless WordPress VIP and Vercel setup to automate uploading and optimization.
“On a scale of one to a 10, it's a no-brainer—I'd give Cloudinary a 10. If you compare the old website with what we have now it's the difference between night and day, the value add is just tremendous.”

The results, in context
Cloudinary's automated image uploading process saved Mecum over 2,000 working hours and delivered 2x faster page load times. Optimized images for online advertising are delivered in one-hundredth of the previous time.
