Link Logistics, the largest US-only owner and operator of last-mile industrial real estate, manages over 533 million square feet across the country, handling more than 5% of the US GDP flowing through its portfolio. With 50 offices in key markets nationwide, Link Logistics is a powerhouse at the intersection of real estate, logistics, and technology.
Challenges
Prior to Bynder, Link Logistics grappled with a fragmented and inefficient approach to digital asset management (DAM). Without a centralized system, marketing and property content were scattered across a maze of memory sticks, individual hard drives, and disparate cloud storage solutions.
The lack of a single source of truth for all digital assets made it impossible to ensure that the latest property photos and marketing materials were consistently used. Teams wasted valuable time hunting for files, and the risk of using outdated or incorrect assets became a constant threat to the company's brand integrity. The manual effort required to track, update, and distribute content slowed down delivery and directly delayed the launch of new property listings.
For a business where speed and accuracy are paramount, these inefficiencies posed a direct threat to its core objectives of securing more leases. The disjointed system prevented Link Logistics from scaling, hampered customer engagement, and drove up operational costs; all significant obstacles to its continued growth and market leadership.
The solution: Bynder as the system of record for all digital assets
The Link Logistics team needed a solution to optimize content operations and integrate with its existing martech stack. This was necessary to be sure that any asset accessed in the DAM or delivered across their network of platforms and channels was the right one. That's why Link Logistics chose an open and composable digital asset management platform—one that could easily connect to its list of existing platforms—to serve as the definitive system of record for all marketing and property content.
Bynder is the system of record for all the assets that show up in our property search website. It's a huge marketing platform for us.Leslie Edelman

Link Logistics centralized over 277,000 digital assets in Bynder, establishing it as the system of record for the company's content. Link Logistics' Bynder DAM is the single, trusted, and most up-to-date source for all digital assets. This provides its users with the foundation needed to boost efficiency, productivity, and brand consistency company-wide.
Increasing productivity and improving content ROI with Bynder AI
Link Logistics uses Bynder AI to improve efficiency and productivity, while also driving greater asset reuse and repurpose. AI-powered search features empower users to find the right assets quickly, intuitively, and accurately. This speed and accessibility increases content ROI because teams can easily find and use the most valuable assets across more campaigns and channels, ensuring that every piece of content generates maximum business value.
For example, using the Natural Language Search solution, go-to-market teams and real estate agents can now locate the specific assets they need almost instantly using everyday phrases, such as "properties with forklifts" or "aerial view with water." As a result, employees spend less time searching and more time executing, driving team efficiencies by getting marketing campaigns and other projects completed faster.
Targeted and optimized delivery of content with Bynder CX Omnichannel
Link Logistics uses Bynder's CX Omnichannel to automatically transform and deliver assets from its system of record to its various touchpoints. Approved assets are instantly pushed to its CMS, PIM, and other platforms using pre-built integrations. This ensures that content is always sized precisely for each platform's requirements, cutting down content delivery timelines. This enables Link Logistics to deliver exceptional content experiences that enhance brand perception and drive customer engagement.
Managing the property content lifecycle from listing to leasing
Link Logistics' teams, including their real estate agents, are empowered to work directly within the platforms they use daily, which include many proprietary systems. Using Bynder's API, these agents can directly upload property listings, update them, and even mark properties as sold. The moment a property is marked sold, related assets are automatically archived in Bynder. This immediate action ensures the content lifecycle is fully managed, and all marketing materials are kept up-to-date without any manual intervention.
Impact
With Bynder as the system of record at the core of its martech stack, Link Logistics has transformed its content operations from a costly bottleneck into a true competitive advantage.
The real win for us with Bynder is that it truly became, company-wide, the system of record. If it's not in Bynder, you're not representing the company well. This expectation is top-down, because any bad image in the system is reflected in everything else we do. It shines a light on issues, like people holding back assets or forgetting to upload a photoshoot. It's hard to quantify that value—it's priceless.Leslie Edelman

For Link Logistics, an effective omnichannel strategy is directly tied to its main business goal: leasing more space. Bynder plays a pivotal role in achieving this goal by ensuring fast and accurate asset distribution across key marketing channels.
What's next for Link Logistics?
With Bynder successfully adopted company-wide, the focus is shifting from user adoption metrics to the strategic value of the content itself:
We're planning to use Bynder Analytics to track and optimize our assets and see how they're working for us. We're less concerned about user metrics and more about the assets and how they're performing.Leslie Edelman
