Case Study: Klambt Verlag Automates Editorial Workflow with Fotoware DAM

Fully Automating the Editorial Workflow

Klambt Verlag, a major European media group publishing 70 magazines, faced the challenge of managing thousands of images weekly across its vast archive. Their manual, folder-based workflow was inefficient, complicating collaboration and slowing down production. To gain control and automate their editorial process, they turned to Fotoware as their Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution, including its Color Factory product for automated image processing.

By implementing Fotoware, Klambt established a central, metadata-driven repository that eliminated the need to manually move files. The solution integrated directly with Adobe InDesign, allowing teams to collaborate remotely and streamlining the entire production workflow. This automation by Fotoware saved thousands of hours annually, particularly in generating legally required photo-lines, while also improving cost calculation and providing a secure, unified system for all their publications.
