Case Study: Klambt Verlag streamlines magazine production with Fotoware

How one of the oldest media groups in Germany streamlines their publicationsprocesses with Fotoware

Klambt Verlag, a major German media group publishing over 65 magazines, faced significant challenges in managing its vast libraries of digital assets. Their inefficient processes made it difficult to quickly find the right images, manage photos from major events, track complex rights and pricing, and enable employees to collaborate across different publications. They turned to Fotoware for a Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution to address these bottlenecks.

Fotoware implemented a centralized, metadata-based system using tools like FotoStation and the PRO Interface. This solution streamlined Klambt's workflows, enabling rapid image culling and selection, automating price and rights tracking with metadata, and creating a unified editorial workflow for all magazines. The results were a significantly faster publication process, efficient cost calculations, and a secure, searchable archive for their millions of historical and current assets, allowing their teams to work more effectively.
