About Americold
Americold is a global leader in temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics, handling the storage and transport of perishable goods. It has more than 16,000 employees and facilities across several countries.
The Challenge: Video That SharePoint Could Not Stream
Americold struggled to manage internal communications and employee training. It stored its corporate communications and training videos in SharePoint, but SharePoint was not built for video streaming, so employees ran into buffering, poor playback, and access problems when watching important CEO messages, financial updates, and all-hands meetings.
Bandwidth made it worse. Americold reserved network bandwidth for critical operational systems, which ruled out public platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. It needed an on-premise solution that could securely host and stream video on demand, especially to engage dispersed warehouse employees in training, and support corporate communications and global collaboration without straining the network.
The Solution: Smooth On-Premise Streaming for the Whole Workforce
Americold turned to VIDIZMO EnterpriseTube, a secure on-premise video content management system. Hosting its corporate communications and training videos on-site let Americold stream smoothly without relying on external services that would strain its bandwidth.
The company could upload, manage, and share video across its global workforce, so CEO messages, financial updates, and all-hands meetings were available to everyone on demand. Dispersed warehouse workers could take training at their own pace, which helped both their learning and day-to-day operations. Internal communication improved, since employees could watch corporate video without interruptions and stay aligned with company goals. The platform was straightforward enough that the communication teams could manage content themselves, without IT, which removed a bottleneck.
