Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is one of the most famous and longest-serving animal charities in the United Kingdom. Their vision is that every cat and dog should live in a home where they are treated with love, care and respect. The charity was founded in 1860 and is London’s leading animal rehoming center, caring for over 8,000 animals each year.

Challenges

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home struggled to manage their digital assets. Their images were saved across various network drives with little or no information attached to them, making it almost impossible to find and access them. Large file sizes made it tricky to share digital assets with external stakeholders, such as licensing contacts. Besides this, the company experience difficulties setting user-rights and copyright details.

In order to solve these issues, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home was looking for a user-friendly solution with the option to customize taxonomy and a filter option to make it easier to find the right assets.

We’ve called it Pawtfolio. It’s very user-friendly, accessible and looks great, all of which has been really important in helping with buy-in. As stated above, we are very pleased with how the system is constantly being improved. Our project liaison (Russ) has been brilliant - very easy to work with and is always helping us to improve Pawtfolio.
