Case Study: Alpen Group achieves faster, higher-quality design and centralized license management with Adobe Creative Cloud

Alpen Group improves design quality and efficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud

Alpen Group, a pioneering Japanese sporting‑goods retailer with around 420 stores and an in‑house design legacy dating to the 1970s, struggled with fragmented software purchases and inconsistent app versions as each design team bought its own hardware and licenses. This led to complex license management, slow design iterations, and the need for more efficient workflows to develop customer‑focused products.

Migrating to Adobe Creative Cloud for teams and centralizing licenses via the Admin Console gave Alpen clear visibility, volume discounts, and access to up‑to‑date tools. Designers now complete revisions in less than 20% of the previous time and leverage features like Content‑Aware Fill, Puppet Warp, Creative Cloud Libraries, Typekit and Adobe Capture to boost creativity and efficiency, while the company plans broader All Apps adoption for 3D and video workflows.
