Case Study: VELTRA achieves cost savings and faster image delivery with Cloudinary

VELTRA Cuts Costs and Improves its Visual Experience with Cloudinary

VELTRA, Japan’s leading online marketplace for tours and activities, faced a sharp drop in traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic while still needing to showcase high-quality destination images and keep pages highly responsive. Their prior image/CDN arrangement imposed fixed, peak-based costs and operational overhead, so VELTRA sought a more flexible, cost-efficient solution that preserved image quality and site performance.

VELTRA implemented Cloudinary integrated with Amazon CloudFront (via partner Classmethod), requiring minimal code and a quick rollout, and moved to a pay-as-you-go CDN model. The change reduced data transfer for page display by 15%, improved image display and response times, cut maintenance resources, and let engineers add new destinations faster while lowering overall costs.
