THE BUSINESS CASE
What Was Holding Archi-Pix Back?
01
Growing Volume and Clients Quickly Without Losing Quality
Archi-Pix was at a key stage of growth, focused on expanding its client base and increasing production volume quickly. To support that growth, they needed to increase capacity, shorten turnaround time, and manage production costs.
That led them to explore AI photo editing as a way to handle more work efficiently. At the same time, maintaining the quality their clients expected remained a top priority.
The challenge wasn't simply finding a faster or more cost-efficient solution. It was finding one that could support rapid growth while keeping quality consistent at higher volumes.
ESOFT'S SOLUTION
Validate Autopix's AI Quality Through a Blind Test
Esoft put its AI photo editing solution, Autopix, through a blind test with Archi-Pix’s QC team, alongside other AI editing tools. The QC team evaluated the results without knowing which solution produced each image.
The test focused on the factors that mattered most to the business: image quality, color consistency, turnaround time, and the amount of rework required.
Autopix delivered edited images in around 1 hour, with consistent results in both color and overall image quality across the test. Only 10% of the images required rework by Archi-Pix’s QC team, compared with a higher rework rate from the other AI editing tools tested.
This gave Archi-Pix a direct, measurable comparison and showed that Autopix could help them handle higher production volumes without adding significant QC and rework effort.
02
Prepaid Credits Created Workflow Interruptions
As Archi-Pix's production volume grew, production costs became an important part of the scaling equation.
With other AI editing tools, the team had experienced situations where prepaid credits ran out during peak periods, even at midnight, creating unexpected interruptions to the editing workflow.
For a high-volume operation, having to constantly predict usage, purchase credits in advance, and monitor remaining balances can add unnecessary operational work and create friction when volume suddenly increases.
ESOFT'S SOLUTION
Postpaid Billing
Esoft provided Archi-Pix with a post-paid billing model, allowing them to pay based on its actual processing rather than purchasing credits upfront.
This means Archi-Pix doesn’t need to predict future volume or pre-purchase enough credits to cover unexpected peaks. The team can continue processing images as volume changes, while billing is handled based on actual usage.
For a business scaling quickly with a 60% increase in image volume per month, this gives Archi-Pix a more flexible and predictable way to manage the financial side of high-volume AI editing.
03
Scaling AI Without Disrupting the Existing Workflow
Archi-Pix was already using Aryeo with Esoft to manage its editing workflow. As they moved to AI editing, they needed to add Autopix without creating a separate process or adding manual steps for the team.
ESOFT'S SOLUTION
Connect Autopix Directly to Aryeo
Esoft integrated Autopix directly with Aryeo, connecting AI editing to Archi-Pix’s existing order workflow.
With this integration, images could flow from Aryeo to Autopix for editing and back through the existing workflow, eliminating the need for Archi-Pix’s team to manually download, upload, or move images between platforms.
This allowed Archi-Pix to adopt AI editing without changing the workflow their team already used with Esoft and Aryeo.
04
AI Issues Couldn’t Be Solved Alone
Moving to AI can remove manual production, but it doesn't remove the need for support. Archi-Pix had experienced situations where they had to figure out issues on their own, making it important to have a partner who could step in when needed.
ESOFT'S SOLUTION
AI Automation + Human Support
Esoft combined the automated Autopix workflow with human support. When workflow issues arise, Archi-Pix can contact Esoft’s 24/6 Customer Support team for direct assistance and resolution. Unlike other AI editing tools, Autopix also comes with a Key Account Management team that works closely with Archi-Pix on workflow needs.
Archi-Pix can also share product and workflow feedback directly with Esoft, which is brought to the Product and AI teams for review and improvement.
As an early Autopix client, Archi-Pix has actively contributed feedback that has helped Esoft refine Autopix for real-world production needs.
This gives Archi-Pix AI automation with a team behind it, reducing manual production while ensuring they have support when issues or improvements need attention.

BUSINESS IMPACT
Growth Without Compromising the Standard
Esoft's work with Archi-Pix went beyond introducing an AI editing tool. By addressing quality, capacity, turnaround, workflow friction, cost flexibility, and ongoing support, the solution became part of Archi-Pix's broader production operation.
The result wasn't simply faster photo editing. Archi-Pix gained an editing operation that could keep pace with its growth, while maintaining quality, controlling operational costs, and giving the team the flexibility to scale.
