3. Private Image Cloud Storage

Overview

Private Image Cloud Storage (PICS) is a secure, cloud-based image management platform designed for organizations that require full control over their visual assets. Built to run in your private cloud (AWS), PICS combines the best features of Google Photos and Pinterest, enabling teams to store, organize, and collaborate on images and creative ideas—without compromising privacy or compliance.

Key Features

  • Private Cloud Storage: Store images and associated metadata securely in your own AWS environment.

  • Collections (Boards): Group images into collections or boards for easy organization and project management.

  • Search, Filtering, and Tagging: Quickly locate images using advanced search, custom tags, and metadata filters.

  • Collaborative Moodboards: Enable teams to ideate and share visual concepts, supporting creative workflows.

  • Simple Image Editing: Edit images directly in the web UI—crop, rotate, adjust colors, and more.

  • User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design for fast onboarding and adoption.

Use Case: Marketing Team Collaboration

A leading food manufacturer’s marketing department needed a secure, collaborative tool for their creative team to develop product style moodboards. Existing solutions like Google Photos and Pinterest were either too public or lacked enterprise-grade privacy and control.

With PICS, the team was able to:

  • Upload and organize product images, packaging concepts, and inspiration photos into private boards.

  • Tag and filter images by campaign, product line, or style attributes.

  • Collaborate in real time, sharing feedback and ideas within the platform.

  • Edit images on the fly to experiment with colors and layouts.

  • Maintain full control over data residency and compliance by hosting everything in their own AWS cloud.

PICS empowered the marketing team to ideate, iterate, and present new product styles efficiently—while ensuring sensitive creative assets remained private and secure.
