🏭 About the Case Study Company
As a leading European dairy and ice cream production group, this enterprise operates across Nordic, Eastern European, and Asian markets, managing multiple regional flagship brands with products spanning traditional dairy items to premium ice cream categories. Their products must strictly comply with EU and regional food regulatory standards, and due to cold chain storage and shelf-life characteristics, their material timeliness and compliance requirements far exceed those of ordinary industries.
Key Performance Indicators:
- 2,500+ employees distributed globally
- 7 countries with production facilities
- Annual revenue exceeding €277 million
- 20+ countries in sales network
- 100+ new products launched annually
🚧 Challenge: Complex Multinational Digital Asset Management Dilemmas
1. Multinational Collaboration Complexity: From "Frequent Errors" to "Efficiency Bottlenecks"
"We operate in 7 countries involving 12 different languages, facing enormous collaboration challenges daily. What's more troublesome is that once our Eastern European team mistakenly used an outdated nutritional information poster, resulting in local regulatory penalties—this wasn't accidental. Traditional file management methods have already cost us real money."— Group Digital Transformation Director
Specific Challenges:
- Multi-timezone collaboration gaps: A delay occurred when the latest quality inspection report uploaded by the Asian team wasn't synchronized with the European team in time, causing packaging information lag for a product batch and delaying market launch by 3 days
- Language and compliance dual risks: Product labels and nutritional information in 12 languages must match local regulations. Manual translation has led to compliance errors like "calcium content unit mislabeling"
- Cultural and market differences: Nordic markets prefer "minimalist health-focused" marketing while Asia emphasizes "family scenarios." Material mismatches once caused Norway market to mistakenly use Southeast Asian-style ice cream advertisements, reducing conversion rates by 20%
2. Innovation-Driven Material Management Demands: Food Industry's "Timeliness and Compliance Double Constraints"
The enterprise launches 100+ new products annually, managing massive materials where dairy-specific sensitive items account for over 60%:
- Product packaging images (requiring batch association, shelf life, quality inspection reports)
- Nutritional information tables, allergen warnings (must match EU, Asian, and other regional regulations)
- Cold chain transportation visual materials (storage temperature labels, logistics packaging design)
- Marketing materials (must avoid "exaggerated health benefits" and other industry compliance red lines)
3. Multi-Brand Unified Management Challenge
Brand Matrix Complexity:
- Nordic Region: 2 local iconic brands (focusing on organic dairy products)
- Eastern Europe Region: 1 national-level dairy series (emphasizing high cost-performance)
- Western Europe Region: 1 premium ice cream brand (emphasizing ingredient origin)
- Baltic Region: 2 classic brands (covering mass market)
💡 Solution: Revolutionary Breakthrough of MuseDAM AI-Native Architecture
Why Choose AI-Native Over Traditional DAM?
"Traditional DAM helps us store files but can't crack the food industry's 'detail code': it can't recognize the labeling differences between 'whole milk' and 'low-fat milk,' nor can it understand different countries' compliance definitions of the word 'natural.' MuseDAM's AI-Native architecture—from AI intelligently parsing every product attribute of materials to using natural language to precisely locate needed content—has completely reshaped our working model."

Traditional DAM vs AI-Native DAM Core Differences:
🔍 Core Functional Applications
1. Upload Intelligence: AI Smart Parsing of Food Material Core Information
Leveraging MuseDAM's AI intelligent parsing and smart tagging capabilities, after material upload, the system completes without manual intervention:
- Upload milk product image → Auto-identify: whole milk/250ml/children's version/contains vitamin D/allergen "lactose-free," with option to generate descriptive filename (replacing original meaningless naming)
- Upload ice cream poster → Smart parsing: strawberry flavor/summer limited/contains 35% milk fat/suitable for social media (avoiding "health benefit" expression risks), while automatically detecting sensitive content
- Upload nutrition report → Content extraction: protein 5.2g/calcium 120mg/suitable for pregnant women/can generate 3 types of compliant marketing copy (connecting AskMuse intelligent engine's content creation capability)
2. AskMuse Intelligent Engine: Creative Partner Understanding Food Compliance
Real Dialogue Case: Marketing Manager: "I need a marketing plan for new probiotic yogurt in the UK market, emphasizing 'digestive aid' but without violations"
AskMuse Intelligent Output:
- 🎯 Compliance Alert: UK prohibits direct association of "digestive aid" with health benefits, suggest changing to "contains active probiotics, suitable for daily intestinal care" (combined with compliance detection function)
- 🎨 Visual Suggestions: Highlight "active bacteria count" (1 billion CFU/serving) + UK breakfast scene
- 📦 Related Materials: Auto-filter 3 poster templates compliant with UK food advertising laws + 2 competitor compliance cases
3. Multinational Team Collaboration: Triple Guarantee of Permissions, Versions, and Compliance
- Permission Control: Nordic team can only view regional organic brand materials, requiring "brand + region" dual permission verification (when viewing organic materials, system automatically prompts "need to enlarge certification logo")
- Version Control: After Asian team uploads new batch ice cream quality inspection report, system automatically generates new version and notifies European team, supports one-click rollback to old version, avoiding "can't find after wrong changes"
- Security Protection: All materials enable intelligent watermarks, dynamically displaying visitor information; operation logs record 60+ core behaviors (upload/download/share), ensuring "who used what materials, where used" fully traceable
4. Compliance Detection: "Intelligent Defense" Blocking Risks in Advance
System built-in global food regulation database, through compliance detection function automatically screens:
- Sensitive vocabulary: Such as "treat constipation" and other violating expressions in marketing copy, real-time marking and modification suggestions
- Label compliance: When "organic certification logo" in Nordic regional materials isn't enlarged as required, automatic adjustment reminders
- Timeliness: Materials for products approaching expiration automatically marked "about to expire" with removal reminders
📈 Implementation Results: Quantified Value from AI-Native
Dual Improvement in Collaboration Efficiency and Compliance Risk
"After MuseDAM went live, our compliance errors dropped from average 2-3 cases per month to 0, and a yogurt product's time-to-market in Germany compressed from 21 days to 7 days—in the dairy industry, this is almost an 'impossible breakthrough.' Especially natural language search, reducing material search time from 45 minutes to 3 minutes, the team finally doesn't waste time on 'finding files.'"

💬 Customer Testimonials
"As a multinational dairy group, we most value the balance between efficiency and security. MuseDAM's natural language search lets teams bid farewell to the pain of 'flipping through file folders'—marketing personnel say 'find Nordic-style organic yogurt posters,' AI instantly locates precisely; while fine-grained permission control ensures different regional teams only access materials they need. This 'open yet controlled' experience is something traditional tools can't achieve."
— Group CEO
"AI intelligent parsing completely liberated our human resources: uploading new product packaging images, the system can automatically identify 'children's milk' specifications, flavors, even target demographics, and generate standard labels connecting old materials. Material reuse rate increased from 35% to 85%. More surprisingly, the AskMuse function can generate marketing copy adapted to different markets in 3 minutes based on existing materials, letting us focus energy on creativity rather than repetitive work."
— Brand Innovation Director
