Case Study: Otrium achieves secure global access and 50% faster front-end performance with Cloudflare

Otrium moves fashion forward with Cloudflare Zero Trust, application performance, and serverless solutions

Otrium is an Amsterdam-based marketplace (founded 2015) that helps fashion brands sell end-of-season inventory to reduce waste. Serving 3.7 million members and 400 brands across 20+ markets, the fully cloud-based company needed strict internal controls and uninterrupted, location-independent access for a distributed workforce while keeping a frictionless shopping experience for customers. Otrium had outgrown third-party hosting and required more control, performance, and security as it scaled globally.

Otrium adopted Cloudflare’s performance, security, and serverless edge solutions — including DNS, caching, SSL/TLS, Rocket Loader, Workers, image optimization, WAF, DDoS protection, Bot Management, and Zero Trust — to secure apps and accelerate delivery. The result: front-end load times were cut by 50%, secure internal connectivity across four continents, thousands of automated threats blocked monthly across 30+ domains, and cost/time savings from hosting and optimizing its entire image catalog from a single edge copy.
