How international manufacturing – Modine uses Stockpress to simplify its sales and marketing campaigns.

Digital Asset Management for Manufacturing Companies:

Company: Modine
Industry: Manufacturing Company
Company Size: Large Business <10,000+ employees
Location: International.

Who they are:

For more than 100 years, Modine Manufacturing Company has been a leader in thermal management, providing trusted heating and cooling systems across commercial, industrial, and vehicular markets. As a global company with a broad sales network, Modine relies on seamless communication and collaboration to support their products, customers, and partners.

The challenge:

As a senior marketing strategist for Modine’s HVAC division, Cody Clifton is responsible for managing a wide array of digital assets across a long and complex sales channel. From working with internal teams, like product management and engineering, to coordinating with wholesalers, distributors, and contractors, Cody’s team needed an efficient way to organize and distribute assets.

Before discovering Stockpress, Modine’s team used Google Drive, but it wasn’t a perfect fit. Modine primarily operates in a Microsoft environment, which creates friction when trying to share files externally. In addition, their internal system, OneDrive, lacked the flexibility to manage large files or share them beyond the organization. This made it challenging to manage assets for a global network of users and stakeholders.
“We had a massive sales funnel that extended from wholesalers down to contractors and smaller HVAC suppliers,” Cody explains. “We had no efficient way to distribute our marketing and sales materials through this long channel.”

The search for the right solution:

When Cody was tasked with finding a Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution, he started researching various platforms. Modine needed something affordable, but powerful enough to handle their extensive asset requirements and provide customization for different user roles. “I reviewed a bunch of DAM providers and did a deep dive into what each offered,” Cody recalls. “Stockpress stood out for its affordability and the range of features it offered. We needed something that had all the bells and whistles but at a price point that made sense for us.”

Why Stockpress:

For Modine, Stockpress offered the perfect combination of features, flexibility, and price. Key advantages that sealed the deal included:

Customizable Workspaces and Permissions:

Cody’s team could customize workspaces to match Modine’s brand while setting different levels of access for various stakeholders. “We needed a system that would allow us to manage internal security while giving our sales reps, wholesalers, and contractors the access they needed. Stockpress was a no-brainer,” Cody explains.

Accessible Pricing:

One of the biggest reasons we chose Stockpress was the pricing model. For a company like Modine, with a large user base and a complex sales channel, we needed a DAM that gave us premium features without the premium price tag. Stockpress hit the sweet spot.

“When I was comparing DAM systems, I couldn’t believe how much you’d have to pay just to get basic functionality in some of the bigger names,” Cody shares. “Stockpress offered everything we needed—customizable workspaces, unlimited users, and all the bells and whistles—for a fraction of the price. It was hands-down the best value. Plus, the fact that we don’t have to pay extra for every single user is a game-changer for us, especially when we’re adding contractors and partners constantly.”

Stockpress made sure we got the features we needed to be efficient and competitive without blowing our budget. “It’s rare to find a solution that gives you top-tier tools at a cost that makes sense. We didn’t just get a great deal, we got a system that rivals the most expensive DAMs out there, and that’s a win for us.”

Unlimited User Licensing:

Given the large number of users involved in Modine’s sales channel, the ability to invite unlimited users without incurring additional costs was a major advantage. “We’ve already invited over 300 users to Stockpress in just a few weeks, and it’s been incredibly smooth,” Cody adds.

Ease of Use:

Stockpress’s intuitive interface made onboarding new users and managing assets simple. “We were able to get Stockpress up and running quickly, and users have been creating their own collections and downloading assets without any issues.”

How Modine uses Stockpress:

Stockpress has transformed how Modine manages and distributes digital assets both internally and externally. Here’s how they’re using it:

Effortless Sharing with External Partners:

Modine uses Stockpress to distribute marketing materials, product photos, and sales literature to wholesalers and distributors. “Before Stockpress, sharing assets like product photos and technical documents was a nightmare. Now, I can upload files and have them ready for our reps within 30 minutes,” Cody explains.

Custom Permissions for Internal Teams:

Modine’s marketing team manages the core admin functions, while external users like sales reps and contractors are given specific permissions to view, download, and share assets. “Having that level of control means we can ensure everyone has what they need without compromising security,” says Cody.

Cross-Departmental Collaboration:

Stockpress also plays a vital role in helping Modine’s marketing, product management, and engineering teams collaborate on new projects. The platform serves as a central hub for everything from product performance data to new sales sheets.

Results and Impact:

Since implementing Stockpress, Modine has experienced significant time savings and improved collaboration across their global sales network.

Improved Efficiency:

Stockpress has streamlined the process of distributing digital assets, saving Cody and his team roughly three hours per week. “That’s three hours we’re no longer spending on boring admin work. Instead, I can focus on business growth and creative projects,” Cody says.

Enhanced Client and Team Experience:

The platform has made it easier for both internal teams and external partners to access the assets they need. “Everyone has been impressed with how easy it is to use Stockpress, and it’s been a huge relief for our busy sales reps and distributors.”

Scalability:

With Stockpress, Modine can easily add new users and scale their operations without worrying about additional costs or technical challenges. “We’re already seeing users create their own collections and use the platform to its fullest potential,” Cody adds.

Increased confidence and excitement:

Stockpress hasn’t just improved the operational side of Modine’s business—it’s also given Cody a renewed sense of excitement about his work. The ease of using Stockpress has made client onboarding smoother, and Cody now looks forward to demonstrating the platform in meetings.

“I used to dread setting up asset-sharing solutions for new clients and partners, but now I can confidently demo Stockpress and show them how easy it will be to collaborate,” Cody says. “It’s a huge relief, both emotionally and logistically. Stockpress has given me back time and peace of mind.”
