Case Study: Funambol makes users' photos instantly searchable and boosts retention with Imagga APIs

Funambol - Customer Case Study

Funambol, a leading white‑label personal and business cloud provider, needed a way to help One Media Hub (OMH) users find photos without scrolling through large untagged libraries. The challenge was to add robust image search (for queries like “pet” or “beach”) using computer‑vision capabilities that were cost‑effective, fast to deploy, and easy to operate. Funambol chose Imagga and its image recognition APIs to meet this need.

Funambol integrated Imagga’s APIs into OMH within a day; Imagga processes uploaded content, extracts metadata and tags, and makes photos searchable by themes and terms. The SaaS approach kept implementation affordable and scalable, allowed OMH to add the feature to its “PLUS” package, and led to users using the search box significantly more and a dramatic increase in customer retention—demonstrating clear technical and commercial impact from Imagga.
