Case Study: Dia&Co achieves scalable growth and faster creative workflows with Canto

Dia&Co powers a plus-size style revolution with Canto

Dia&Co, a plus-size style subscription brand, faced a growing asset chaos: years of photos and video scattered across hard drives, Dropbox, Google Drive and an internal server while they were shooting roughly a terabyte of assets per quarter. Needing a digital asset management solution they could afford, Dia&Co evaluated options and chose Canto for its balance of functionality and price.

Dia&Co implemented Canto’s DAM to centralize roughly 300,000 assets—logos, fonts, raw and retouched photography, e‑commerce images, video ads and talent releases—and to streamline workflows (freelance shoots of 150–10,000 images are uploaded, shared with retouchers via Canto portals, then delivered to stakeholders by link). Canto empowered merchandising, marketing and HR to access assets quickly, increased reuse of paid retouches, sped stakeholder delivery, and turned Dia&Co’s library into a growth driver instead of a bottleneck.
