How Alexander Lamont Uses DAM to Streamline Product Design and Sales
Discover how luxury design brand, Alexander Lamont, uses LightRocket's DAM to power their business all the way from product design and manufacturing, through to marketing and sales.
Meet Alexander Lamont: A Global Luxury Design Brand
Alexander Lamont is a luxury design company known for crafting exquisite furniture and interior pieces. With around 100 employees, the Bangkok-based company produces high-end tables, cupboards, lamps, and more-each a result of meticulous craftsmanship and elegant design.
At first glance, Lamont appeared to be a relatively small client for LightRocket. But looks can be deceiving. Their archive, it turned out, was massive, containing hundreds of thousands of product images, all captured at every stage of the production process.
The Challenge: Managing a Rapidly Expanding Product Image Archive
As with any product-based business, visual assets are critical. For Alexander Lamont, every product (from initial prototype to post-repair) was photographed by an in-house photographer.
But without a centralised, structured digital asset management system, the company risked:
- Scattered, inaccessible files
- Inefficient workflows between departments
- Difficulties retrieving specific product images, especially as the archive rapidly grew
- Uncontrolled distribution of confidential imagery
The Solution: Implementing a Scalable Digital Asset Management System
Enter LightRocket. Our Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution is built on the universal media management principles of:
- Centralisation
- Control
- Easy retrieval
- Long-term preservation
Our enterprise DAM system provided Lamont with:
- A central archive for all product imagery
- Easy search and retrieval through custom tagging with unique product codes
- Role-based access, keeping content secure but accessible
- Tools to manage sharing externally with custom link permissions
The Process: Collaborative Setup to Fit a Creative Business Model
We started by listening to better understand Lamont’s internal workflows and how different departments interacted with their media. Unlike many heritage-focused archives, Lamont’s DAM needed to support active product lifecycle management.
We adapted our tools to support:
- Sales and product development teams accessing visual records
- Quality control using photography to monitor product consistency
- Internal-only access with flexible folder structures and permissions
We also provided training and ongoing support. During in-person visits to Lamont, it was clear: LightRocket had become central to the company’s operations. From sales to photography, through to management and marketing, nearly every team member was using the platform.
They also developed clever internal practices like tagging all assets with product codes, allowing for fast, precise retrieval across a growing visual archive.
The Result: Better Access, Smoother Sales, Smarter Tagging
What began as a simple DAM archive tool became a critical part of Alexander Lamont’s business operations.
LightRocket’s DAM now supports:
- Internal collaboration across departments
- Visual documentation of every product throughout its lifecycle
- Fast, secure file retrieval using custom tagging
- Controlled external sharing with clients or stakeholders
- Even with hundreds of thousands of files, the platform remained fast, scalable, and intuitive
“We have hundreds of thousands of images that are increasing every day. The task of finding and managing them was becoming impossible. The LightRocket DAM platform has become a very valuable part of our operations; a centralized online system that controls access, stores images safely and makes retrieval easy.”
Key Outcomes
- Centralised archive of 100,000+ (and growing) product images
- Precise file retrieval using unique product codes as tags
- Streamlined internal workflows across sales, quality control, marketing, and design
- Role-based permissions and secure external file sharing
- A DAM system that scales effortlessly with archive growth
