The value of DAM
How Digital Asset Management boosts your productivity
As content volumes keep growing, employees spend about 2.5 hours per week searching when they must rely on folder structures. pixx.io stores everything your teams need in one place and turns searching into finding: AI and metadata cut search time to seconds and boost your content ROI.
The difference between a DAM and a folder? Speed and structure. Instead of clicking through endless subfolders, you find assets instantly with keywords, metadata, and dynamic collections.
But DAM goes beyond storage. You can share assets inside and outside your company, and even gather files from externals—saving time when working with photographers or content creators, without worrying about the “right” place to work together.
With pixx.io, you also handle feedback, content lifecycles, and media workflows right inside your DAM.

6 reasons why you need Digital Asset Management software
Cut costs with smoother workflows
With the pixx.io DAM solution, you manage the entire content lifecycle in one place and save money and time—no switching between tools. Collect files from external partners and align instantly with comments. If you are a designer, you can open files directly in Adobe, approve, archive, or access them in other systems.
Keep brand consistency
Use a brand portal to share brand assets with your colleagues. No more asking for the latest PowerPoint template, brand guide, or logo. A brand portal puts everything in one place, so everyone gets what they need and presents your brand the way you intend it. Permissions keep assets safe and used the right way.
Stay safe
With a DAM system, you stay on top of model releases and license expirations. pixx.io shows you exactly how you and your colleagues are allowed to use each file and notifies you automatically before a license expires.
Integrate easily with your stack
With REST API, CDN and ready-to-use integrations, the DAM tool by pixx.io connects smoothly to your existing setup. This way, you always keep a clear overview, even of media spread across other systems.
Communicate seamlessly with partners
Use your own PR platform to supply journalists and partners with press releases, images and content. Brand it your way, lock it when needed: Portals adapt to you and your branding.
Collaborate better with feedback in one place
Feedback stays where it matters when you work with DAM: on the file itself. All comments by colleagues and externals stay in one place, and focus points let you pinpoint the details.
“pixx.io is a real gamechanger for us in terms of media management.
Via pixx.io, we make image data available to our customers all over the world. This ensures that the relaunch of the Underberg brand can be rolled out globally and uniformly. The PowerPoint integration, for example, allows me to search for files super fast directly in the interface. With one click, the desired image is then directly in the appropriate format in my slide. This is not only practical and efficient, but also really fun to work with.”

Frequently asked questions for Digital Asset Management
What are digital assets?
Digital assets are files that are stored digitally, whether in the cloud, on a server, or on a hard drive. While the term “digital assets” is also used in finance, in DAM software it’s all about managing a company’s media and content.
Think of it this way: your media assets are just as valuable to your business as financial assets like stocks and funds are to a broker. Managing them well makes all the difference.
Common examples of media assets include
• Images
• Videos
• Graphics
• GIFs
• Audio files
• Contracts
• Text docs
• Presentations
• PDFs
• Spreadsheets
What is Digital Asset Management?
Digital Asset Management (DAM) is software for organizing, finding, and using media files. A DAM makes assets instantly searchable and streamlines every step of your media workflow—from sharing and feedback to embedding content where you need it.
How does a DAM system work?
At its core, a DAM system combines powerful search, filters, and collections to help you find the assets you need. Behind the scenes, several key features ensure a smooth experience:
Tagging & metadata:
• Add keywords manually to the files you upload to your DAM or let AI do the work. Face recognition makes your life even easier: Let AI identify people and auto-tag your assets.
• License management: Store license details for each file and automatically block expired assets to make sure your team only uses content that is approved and good to go.
• Version control & variants: Keep every version of your assets tied to the original file and review them all in one place.
• Permissions & approvals: Use detailed permission settings to make sure that each user only sees the files meant for them.
• Workflows & integrations: Share and collect files via links or portals, connect to other tools through APIs, and automate your entire media workflow.
When do I need a DAM system?
If it takes you more than a minute to find a file, it’s time for a DAM. Searching through endless folders is not just frustrating, it’s a waste of valuable resources.
And there’s another clear signal: when your company starts thinking about rolling out guidelines for how media should be saved, a DAM system is the smarter move. Instead of rigid folders, it organizes your assets with metadata, making them easier to search, share, and control.
Other warning signs include constant “Can you send me that file?” requests, slow access to important content, and teams struggling to keep media consistent across departments.
What’s the business case for a DAM system?
The main reason to use a DAM is productivity. Instead of wasting hours digging through folders, teams that use a DAM tool find files in seconds. That time saved translates directly into cost savings—studies show a DAM delivers an average ROI of 280% for small teams. On top of that, 74% of users report significantly less stress once they stop hunting for files.
But there’s more:
• Compliance: Avoid legal risks by automatically blocking access for assets with expired licenses.
• Consistency: Keep your brand image aligned across every channel and every department.
• Collaboration: Streamline feedback and content approvals to speed up production.
How can I integrate pixx.io into existing workflows?
Rolling out a DAM isn’t just about software, it’s about adoption. Change management is key to making sure your team embraces the new system. That’s why DAM providers like pixx.io offer live workshops and webinars where your team can quickly learn the basics of collaboration inside the platform.
To make DAM an essential part of your business, build a clear metadata taxonomy and set tagging rules so brand assets stay consistent.
