Retailer Bouclair migrates to AI-powered DAM in two weeks with Bynder and Ntara
The challenge
Bouclair, a leader in furniture and home décor, thrives not just in-store but also online. Shoppers love the convenience of browsing product details and making purchases on the retailer’s website.
Behind the scenes, connected systems bring Bouclair’s product experience to life—including integrations from inriver PIM to DAM and Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC).
However, their existing DAM platform did not meet their needs. Worse, a hefty license renewal was just weeks away. Keeping an ineffective platform at a high cost didn’t make sense, but they also couldn’t risk disrupting the flow of images to their ecommerce site.
Bouclair wanted to quickly upgrade to Bynder’s AI-powered DAM without interrupting their DAM processes. They wanted access to Bynder’s scalable taxonomy, digital rights management, and automation features.
But how fast could they implement Bynder, integrate DAM with PIM, and keep syndication intact?
The solution
Thankfully, Bouclair had an experienced team ready to help. To meet the rapid deadline, they partnered with Ntara + Bynder to support rapid implementation and integration.
“It was a true collaboration between our teams. We all rolled up our sleeves and got to work,” said Cristi Liggett, Account Director from Ntara. “The big win was establishing the one-way integration to Bynder in just two weeks.”
Ntara’s experience with Bynder’s rich, connected ecosystem of pre-built integrations and Bouclair’s inriver PIM instance accelerated the DAM migration. We architected their needs through discovery, updated their existing metadata models, and supported the asset migration with metadata values.
“Quick time to value is a core pillar of the Bynder experience. With Bouclair having a time-sensitive need to migrate all their assets without any interruption to their business, close collaboration with Ntara was crucial to make sure the customer’s needs were met and Bouclair had the best possible solution that enabled them to thrive moving forward. This was a testament to our joint value with Ntara and a win-win-win for all involved. ”

The result
Within two weeks, the teams implemented Bynder DAM, migrated over 85,000 assets into the new platform, and connected Bynder to inriver PIM—without interruption in syndicating data to Bouclair’s ecommerce site.
As the project continued, Ntara finalized the bidirectional flow of data. That way, metadata can funnel back into Bynder to automate asset organization.
“As our strategic partner for PIM support, Ntara has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of our need to work within aggressive timelines. Their proven track record gave us confidence that they would deliver a high-quality integration on time. Bynder’s onboarding team ensured that the necessary solutions were in place from the start, seamlessly supporting Ntara and enabling us to launch the project on schedule and within budget.”
