Tessa moves Top Brands

Here's how TESSA supports you and your team in the food retail industry

Challenges

Campaign materials for seasonal promotions (Christmas, Easter, back-to-school) must be distributed to stores, agencies, and external partners in various formats as quickly as possible. Incorrect versions end up in print, and the back office is flooded with email inquiries.

Your solution with TESSA

BrandHub for Shops & Retail partners

With BrandHub, you provide stores and brand partners with a centralized self-service portal. Employees and retailers can independently download brand-compliant campaign materials in the correct resolution and format - no more manually sending emails, no version confusion, and maximum brand consistency at the point of sale.

Challenges

The marketing team works daily in Adobe InDesign on brochures, product campaigns, and point-of-sale materials. Product images must be manually exported from the DAM, inserted into InDesign, and then manually uploaded again after editing.

Your solution with TESSA

Product images directly in InDesign

With the TESSA InDesign plugin, your marketing team can access all assets in the DAM directly from within Adobe InDesign. Product images can be dragged and dropped into layouts, and edited versions can be saved back to TESSA with a single click and automatically versioned. Weinwolf’s marketing team uses this workflow every day for their product image editing.

Challenges

After major product photo shoots or packaging relaunches, there is often confusion about the approval status. Unapproved product images end up in the online store, and flawed packaging designs get printed - which directly impacts brand integrity and compliance.

Your solution with TESSA

Collaborative approval workflows for food retail

TESSA streamlines internal collaboration through clear status cycles. As soon as a new product image is uploaded, the system automatically notifies all relevant parties. The image becomes visible in the online store or reseller portal only after final internal approval - making the process traceable, auditable, and GDPR-compliant.

FAQ

How does the TESSA InDesign plugin work for the marketing team?

The TESSA InDesign plugin integrates the DAM directly into Adobe InDesign. Your marketing team can search for and filter assets using a panel, insert product images into layouts via drag-and-drop, and save edited files back to TESSA with a single click. All versions are automatically logged - no manual exporting, no file clutter, and no outdated images in the layout.

How does TESSA ensure that stores always receive the latest promotional materials?

Through the TESSA BrandHub portal, store employees and retail partners can independently download approved campaign materials in the appropriate resolution and format. As soon as a new asset is approved, it becomes immediately available in the portal - outdated versions are automatically blocked.

Can TESSA DAM be run on-premises?

Yes. As implemented at EDEKA, TESSA DAM offers a fully on-premises option. All data remains on your company’s own servers. In addition, TESSA supports single sign-on (SSO), allowing all employees to log in using their existing company credentials - without the need for a separate password or user management.
