Onison

Onison provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to centralize and automate brand management and marketing efforts. It operates as a 'Single Source for Brand Management,' integrating several key services into one seamless platform. This solution is ideal for organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to global enterprises, looking to maintain brand consistency, improve efficiency, and reduce reliance on external design agencies or complex software.

The platform is built around three core components: ImageDirector (Digital Asset Management), Preeon (Web-to-Print Publisher), and a robust Product Information Management (PIM) system. Together, they enable businesses to manage digital assets, product data, and marketing collateral creation from a single, secure, web-based interface.

How to use Onison

Using Onison involves a streamlined workflow that connects your assets, data, and marketing outputs:

1. Centralize Assets: Begin by uploading all your brand assets—logos, images, videos, documents, and more—into the ImageDirector DAM. You can use the simple multi-directional drag-and-drop feature to upload entire folder structures.
2. Enrich and Prepare: The system automatically extracts metadata (IPTC, EXIF, XMP). You can use AI-powered features like automatic background removal to prepare product images for catalogs or e-commerce. The semantic search and dynamic keyword proposals make finding the right asset quick and intuitive.
3. Manage Product Data: If applicable, integrate your product information into the PIM system. This creates a link between your product data (specs, pricing, descriptions) and your visual assets.
4. Create Marketing Collateral: Use the Preeon Web-to-Print publisher to design and personalize marketing materials. Select a pre-approved template (e.g., for a brochure, business card, or flyer), which can have locked elements to ensure brand compliance.
5. Personalize and Automate: Drag assets from the DAM directly into your templates. For personalized campaigns, use the Variable Data Printing (VDP) feature to automatically populate fields with data from a database, creating unique versions for each recipient. This is perfect for localized marketing.
6. Publish and Distribute: Once your design is complete, generate a high-resolution PDF for professional printing or share digital versions via links. The platform also supports automated catalog production, merging PIM data with DAM assets to create extensive product listings with ease.
