Case Study: Zyte achieves 5× annotation capacity and faster product releases with CloudFactory

Powering up data extraction with flexible image annotation

Zyte, a world-leading web scraping company, needed large volumes of high-quality annotated data to accelerate development of its Automatic Extraction tool but had limited internal annotation capacity and a tight time-to-market. To scale quickly without hiring more staff, Zyte partnered with CloudFactory and engaged CloudFactory’s Computer Vision Managed Workforce to supply experienced annotators and managed services.

CloudFactory deployed a specialist team to manually annotate URLs and subdomains, take on data acquisition and quality control, and introduce time-tracking and process feedback to improve throughput. CloudFactory’s work increased Zyte’s labeling volume fivefold, saved 60% of internal Zyte resource time, completed five unique use cases, and helped Zyte hit its product release deadline while improving planning visibility.
