What is DALIM SOFTWARE ?
DALIM SOFTWARE offers collaborative, modular, and scalable software solutions for creating, producing, managing, and distributing marketing content across multiple channels, including websites, print, social media, newsletters, packaging, and labels.
DALIM SOFTWARE enables you to accelerate your marketing production workflows through automation, transforming media production, creating complex validation workflows, and providing collaboration tools.
DATASOLUTION integrates two solutions developed by DALIM SOFTWARE within its software stack:
Dalim ES: Manage production
Dalim ES can be deployed on-premises, in SaaS mode (software as a service), or via a hybrid cloud solution. It includes several modules:
1. DAM (Digital Asset Management)
Dalim ES manages your brand or company’s digital assets, even large files. All your media is centralized in one place, enabling annotation, comments, metadata addition, and direct modification requests in the document. All users can see updates in real time.
2. Online collaborative proofing and color management (softproofing)preuvage et colorimétrie collaboratifs en ligne (softproofing)
This softproofing module allows you to review every detail of your communication materials anytime, anywhere. You can annotate and approve content online, eliminating endless email threads for corrections and approvals. Online proofing involves all stakeholders in the graphic chain, from suppliers to end clients, with real-time notifications when a document is ready for review.
3. Workflow automation
Repetitive tasks are automated to reduce costs and ensure that all document processing steps are completed efficiently.
4. Project management
Dalim ES facilitates optimal project planning, clear tracking of steps, and task list management. You can measure content production performance using KPIs (key performance indicators) to enhance future workflows and quickly identify bottlenecks.
Dalim Twist: Automate production workflows
Dalim Twist is a highly flexible workflow management system for visual media production. It can transform your images into multiple versions automatically. Dalim Twist can be integrated into Dalim ES or other solutions, such as a CMS (content management system).

What business challenges does Dalim ES address?
Multinational companies face highly complex communication challenges. They must promote numerous products in diverse markets, including niches, and in multiple languages. They must also act quickly in a highly competitive global market.
Each product requires a wide variety of digital media content (digital assets) in multiple formats (images, videos, 3D, etc.). International brands must maintain a presence across all communication channels and respond promptly to events. They need to manage multichannel distribution (print, web, social media, packaging, etc.) almost in real time.
The production of marketing content, however, demands thoughtful planning, precision, rigor, and input from multiple collaborators. This includes internal and external stakeholders such as graphic designers, agencies, communication managers, e-commerce leaders, marketing directors, and product managers. Each contributes their expertise to content production and must collaborate seamlessly on every document.
DALIM SOFTWARE addresses these challenges by improving production workflows, collaboration, multichannel distribution, efficiency, productivity, speed to market, compliance, and more.
