How Chorus helps manufacturing & distribution organizations
Create and control media at speed
You need reliable, repeatable processes to swerve delays. Work-in-progress media moves between teams via live workspaces, allowing team members to capture feedback instantly and make changes to drawings, mockups and final artwork, videos, and photos. When stored assets need updating, file syncing pushes changes directly to the cloud - just click 'Save' in your existing tools. Need to turn back time? All previous saves are stored safely for instant retrieval.
Add your own product information
When assets have all the right details attached, their use to your company is enhanced many times over. Metadata fields can be tailored to accommodate your specific requirements, such as part numbers, internal project codes, as well as customer details and sign-offs. Documents can be attached to media to help keep them together at each stage in your workflow.
Distribute media safely
When suppliers or clients outside your company need to access your content, you can give them web links without requiring them to register. Chorus includes publishing to fast, branded microsites that incorporate a range of security controls. There's no faster way to get branded, high-performing content to your sales team and distributors, especially those working in the field.
"We’ve been using Third Light since August 2010 and the software has since been an essential tool for product managers, design managers and other marketing staff. We use a huge amount of media for product catalogues and marketing promotions, online and offline and we rely on the software to manage all of our images effectively."

It's challenging to ensure changes launched to product designs, specifications and new product categories are all in the hands of your distributors and kept current - especially those problematic files on road warriors' laptops. Chorus solves this problem, with the Project Sync app, which keeps their folders perfectly in step. You can withdraw or replace old content, and push changes to everyone; they'll always have the latest product datasheets and PDFs, even if they're offline. It's an smooth way to keep everyone on the same page, no matter where they are.
Chorus supports a huge range of file types, especially images, video and audio. It also supports documents such as Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF (with text searching), vector artwork, animated GIFs and the entire Adobe Creative Suite of tools. However, you can also store other file types (ones which are unlikely to be viewable correctly without proprietary software). Those files can move in and out of Chorus, and be tagged and searched as normal. You can use our Project Sync desktop tools too, opening and saving special files directly from your workstations using Chorus as a cloud storage tool.
Chorus is a secure platform, independently verified by external assessors and subject to regular penetration testing. It's designed with security as one of its primary features, including 100% encrypted connections. Third Light's standard contracts include water-tight protection of your IPR, and we also offer an on-premises edition when IT policies mandate total isolation (even from Third Light).
