Resource Management
The single source of truth for every Drexel asset a partner might use
What it is
A Digital Asset Management (DAM) surface that catalogs and distributes every brand-approved resource: logos, color chips, panel renders, photography, spec sheets, cut sheets, warranty PDFs, social templates, video. Partners pull directly from this library — no more outdated logos on contractor websites, no more obsolete spec sheets in circulation. When Drexel updates a resource, every downstream surface follows.
- A catalog of assets with structured metadata: type, panel profile, color family, use context, approval state, expiry.
- A permissions layer driven by identity — not every contractor needs access to every asset.
- Distribution channels: direct download, hotlink, REST API, and feeds consumed by the WP plugin and agent-web package.
Capabilities
Cataloging
Tag assets with profile, color, use, audience. Browse by any facet; search across filenames and metadata.
Approval + expiry
Assets move through draft → approved → retired. Retired assets can't be downloaded, and downstream caches invalidate.
Format transforms
Request any asset at the size, format, or aspect ratio a surface needs — all from one master file.
Usage tracking
See which contractors are pulling which assets. Identify the high-signal resources and the dead weight.
Rights and scope
Label assets with usage rights (contractor-only, public, internal). The API enforces the label; partners can't access out of scope.
Bulk ingest
Drop a folder; the cataloger extracts dimensions, suggests tags, and queues for approval.

Architecture notes
- Assets stored in object storage; metadata in structured JSON for this deployment (no DB today).
- Every download flows through the OIDC token — access is provable and revocable.
- The WP plugin and agent-web package read via a published feed; a retirement in the DAM propagates within minutes.
- Seeded automatically from brandkit extraction so the DAM starts populated with the brand's existing assets.
What each persona gets
Always-current logos and spec sheets. Drop them into your deck or website and trust they're right.
Send a partner the exact folder they need — no more 'use this, not that' emails.
Retire an old logo once. Every partner surface updates automatically.
Access approved photography and product data for your own catalog without back-and-forth.
Where it shows up
- Library view filtered to 'Logos — co-brand safe — print-ready'.
- Panel profile page bundling every related asset: renders, spec sheet, install guide, warranty.
- Download cart that generates a signed .zip and expires after a set time.
