Case Study: West Digital Post Production reduces hard drive shipments with MASV

How West Digital Post Production said goodbye to Customs and shipping labels when they reduced hard drive shipments by 80% thanks to MASV

West Digital Post Production, a 23-person post-production team, needed a better way to move increasingly large files for corporate clients and broadcasters. As HD and 5–6 GB transfers became the norm, their existing HTTP and FTP systems struggled, and alternatives like Aspera and Signiant were too expensive upfront for their volume and customer base. They turned to MASV for time-critical file transfers, especially when clients had restrictive IT environments or no access to enterprise delivery tools.

Using MASV’s browser-based, per-GB file transfer service, West Digital Post Production was able to build transfer costs into project quotes and use the platform for collaboration, office-to-office transfers, and final deliveries. The results were significant: MASV helped reduce hard drive shipments by 80%, save $228 per month, and cut 96 transfer hours per month, while also delivering faster, more predictable transfers and strong support.
