THE CHALLENGE:
Effective Coordination in Local Marketing
THE SOLUTION:
A Central Hub for Content
In the fall of 2015, Ricola launched an ambitious digital strategy that included the purchase of a Digital Asset Management system. After an extensive evaluation, the decision was made in favor of CELUM. In addition, several marketing employees had already enjoyed working with the CELUM in the past.
As a long-standing partner, the Swiss IT company brix handled the implementation for Ricola. Using specially configured brix extensions, the solution, internally branded as „RICO“, was tailored and seamlessly integrated into Ricola‘s existing systems.
Using a single sign-on process (SSO), employees can access the content relevant to them and download it independently. A highly customizable user and rights management system ensures data confidentiality and protection. Agencies and sales partners can upload and exchange assets via RICO.
