About the customer

The customer is a leading e-commerce platform for event ticketing
Industry:
Ecommerce, Digital Platform

One of Vietnam’s leading professional event ticketing platforms faced a rather unusual challenge that had come with the growth of their business. While customers – event organizers and the event attendees – had a seamless experience before the event, the post-event photo management was proving to be a potential bottleneck. Cloud Kinetics worked with the customer to implement a smart photo management solution powered by AI to usher in the next wave of innovation for the business.

Challenge

A problem of plenty: Managing post-event photo access

The customer had challenges with photo management in the way it served attendees at the end of events. The vast volumes of photos typical of such events, coupled with the rising client base of event organizers, required an innovative solution.

Events clock upwards of 30,000 photos on average and organizers typically struggle with handling these efficiently. These large volumes needed to be managed in a way that allowed attendees to quickly find their images.

Specifically, the ask from Cloud Kinetics was to find a solution to address these needs:

  • Attendees and guests need a quick and easy way to find their photos immediately after an event
  • The system must rapidly index a massive number of images to ensure instant availability post event

Solution

AI-powered photo management & face search

Cloud Kinetics  and the customer developed a Photo Management & Face Search solution.

The AI-powered face search was built incorporating these components.

  • A specialized algorithm to analyse and compare facial features for precise user identification
  • A microservices-based backend to ensure scalability, enabling seamless processing of large volumes of images.
