Strategic customization: Crucial for omnichannel success 

The "one-size-fits-all" way of working falls short in the world of DAM.  Every single company, no matter their size or offerings, has unique processes and faces specific challenges that simple solutions can’t address efficiently.  

This is where advanced customization capabilities and a more robust integration toolbox comes into place - going above and beyond the basic functionalities found in standard DAM systems. 

Customizing DAM systems is key for success on all channels, whether it be your social media or e-commerce site.  

Why?  

Because it lets you adapt the technology to fit your specific needs and workflow, ensuring effective content management and distribution across different platforms.  

Why do you need customization today? 

  1. Improved personalization: With customized integration solutions, you can much more easily tailor digital experiences to meet specific customer needs. This is incredibly useful for companies that want to boost overall engagement, increase personalization and customer satisfaction.  

  2. Seamless integration: Easily connect to different systems - from e-commerce platforms and marketing tools. This seamless integration ensures better use of digital assets across all your customers’ touchpoints, improving the overall user experience. 

  3. You gain a competitive advantage: Quickly adapt to market changes and emerging trends. Companies can adopt personalized experiences much faster and maintain a consistent brand image that actually stands out from the competition. 

KeyShot DAM customization

An overview of our integration toolbox 

Our DAM solution includes a powerful suite of tools that are designed to address both simple and more complex digital integration needs.  In that way, companies can easily integrate our DAM with their existing systems.  

What we mean is: Keep the content and marketing workflows you prefer but boost your operational efficiency. 

  • So, what are the key components of the integration toolbox? 

    • APIs and SDKs: Are built to be flexible and secure, helping you to tailor integrations that grow with you. That way you can extend into other key areas like marketing automation systems (like Salesforce) and CMS systems (e.g. Optimizely or Sitecore). The result is well-coordinated digital assets across various platforms, boosting user experiences.  

    • A low-code automation engine: This engine is a solid foundation for companies that want to streamline complex processes - without any extensive IT involvement. It allows users with differing levels of technical expertise to automate key workflows. In other words, reducing the time and resources typically needed for these tasks. Easily create and launch workflows, boost productivity and adapt swiftly to changes in the market.  

  • We have 3 types of DAM integrations helping you expand your content strategy:  

    • Pre-built integrations: Easily search and import digital assets from DAM into different platforms. This feature is invaluable for businesses looking to improve their app functionality without spending tons of time on development.  

    • Native integrations: These are designed for systems where seamless interaction is necessary. Native integrations ensure that our DAM works in a harmonious way within the overall ecosystems of larger platforms. The result helps users access and manage digital assets without leaving their preferred environments. 

    • Enterprise integrations: User-friendly UIs, drag-and-drop automation, and flexible APIs and SDKs create a scalable system that can handle both custom and complex types of integrations. This flexible setup helps businesses grow and enhance their DAM systems over time, helping them stay ahead in a rapidly changing digital landscape. 

Expand your content strategy

How to effectively implement the integrations toolbox, step-by-step 

Using our integration toolbox can significantly boost the way your organization handles content and digital assets. That’s why hassle-free implementation is crucial.  

Here are few steps to ensure a smooth integration:  

  1. Assess your specific needs: Pinpoint areas where DAM can boost efficiency and teamwork. Identify any bottlenecks in data sharing and accessing digital assets throughout your organization. 

  2. Design key integration flows: Figure out how the DAM will connect with your current applications and systems. Outline the overall flow of data, pinpoint key communication points, and become aware of any integration issues to ensure smooth connectivity. 

  3. Implement solutions: Set up the integration using our APIs, SDKs, and low-code automation tools. These tools are designed for easy use, enabling your team to efficiently manage even complex integrations. Follow the planned steps carefully, testing each stage to ensure everything works smoothly before fully rolling it out. 

The biggest benefits of custom integrations today 

Custom integrations can give you huge advantages that redefine how you engage with your digital markets.  

Here’s the main benefits you can expect: 

  1. Streamlined company processes: Specific and custom integrations help you automate tasks, streamline workflows, and optimize marketing operations. That way you reduce tons of operational costs and save valuable time, helping you focus on creating more value for customers.

  2. You can make faster decisions: With solid, integrated systems, you get a much more seamless communication between external and internal teams. This is through access to real-time data across departments. Making crucial information available much faster accelerates decision-making, allowing for quicker responses to market changes. Plus, better collaboration in general.  

  3. Create personalized customer experiences: By integrating for example your PIM and marketing automation tools, you can deliver highly customized interactions. This kind of tailored approach helps improve your customer engagement, boosts satisfaction, and can help increase customer loyalty. 

  4. Easy data synchronization: The toolbox simplifies data synchronization between different platforms and systems, ensuring that all team members have access to consistent and up-to-date digital content. 

  5. There’s better scalability and flexibility: Our tools are designed to grow with your business, supporting expansion into new markets or easy scaling of operations, making them ideal for dynamic business environments. 

Keyshot DAM custom integration

A day-to-day scenario: Improving daily marketing operations 

Imagine a large retail chain that implements DAM and seamlessly connects it with their CMS platforms or product information platforms like Inriver.  

On a day-to-day basis, their marketing team uses the integration to automatically synchronize new product images and details across multiple online platforms.  

As soon as the inventory system updates with new stock, DAM ensures that all promotional materials are instantly revised and updated accurately, keeping marketing efforts aligned with what they’re currently offering customers.  

The result of this integration? Less manual updates, a huge reduction in potential (human) errors, and it helps speed up campaign launches. This again allows employees to focus more on strategy and less on operational tasks.  

As a result, both regional and international marketers can quickly pull comprehensive asset reports, customize content for different local regions, and push updates, all without switching between systems. In other words, helping them maximize their global reach. 

Not only does this boost productivity but also enhances the accuracy and relevance of your everyday marketing communication.  

Improving marketing operations
