Numerous companies benefit from integrating a marketing portal. Nevertheless, there are various industries in which a marketing portal provides special market advantages.

This optimizes the coordination processes, which can be evaluated by numerous reporting functions.
The terms Web-to-Print, brand portal and marketing portal are often used in similar contexts. Even though all three terms refer to central online platforms, there are significant differences between the individual offerings.
In the case of Web-to-Print, the focus is on the generation of individual print pieces via a Web-to-Print system. In contrast, a brand portal is used for brand documentation and the provision of assets, thus optimizing coordination processes within the company and in cooperation with external partners. A marketing portal combines these aspects with each other, but at the same time thinks the offer further. Thus, a marketing portal solution covers all decentralized marketing processes in its entirety.

This results in considerable time and cost savings.
Subsidiaries or branches
