What customers who moved to Canto say

 

Alison Peak, The a2 Milk Co

With Canto, we finally have a single source of truth for all our images and documents. Our team can locate the latest marketing collateral in seconds, which has dramatically increased both efficiency and brand consistency.

Daniela Jones, Destination Queenstown

Moving to Canto has been a success for more reasons than one for Destination Queenstown. Everyone can locate, use, and share assets quickly and easily due the Advanced Search functionality.

Matt Harnett, Victoria Department of Health

Canto has been instrumental in streamlining our asset approval workflows. We’ve cut down on email back-and-forth, and our stakeholders now have real-time visibility into every stage of the process. It’s a game changer for our in-house creative team.

Marketing Operations Manager in Retail sector

Before switching to Canto, we struggled with a DAM that lacked robust AI tagging and brand portal capabilities. After implementing Canto, our marketing team cut asset search time by 50% and improved brand consistency across multiple markets.

Why choose Canto

Purpose-Built for DAM

Canto is fundamentally a DAM solution with robust tools to help you manage, organise, and distribute digital assets efficiently.

IntelligenceBank offers multiple solutions (compliance, risk management, and DAM), which can dilute its focus on DAM-specific innovation.

Superior Brand Portal Capabilities

Canto supports unlimited portals, making it easier to share content securely with different user groups—internally and externally. IntelligenceBank also offers portal-like features but may not match the depth and flexibility of Canto’s portals.

State-Of-The-Art Security

By combining advanced encryption, robust authentication, strict role-based permissions, Australian data residency, and globally recognised certifications,  such as ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2, CCPA, Canto ensures that your digital assets are secure and compliant with the latest regulations no matter what region you're in.

Industry Leading AI Features

Canto's industry-leading AI features set it apart as a powerhouse in digital asset management. With AI Visual Search, users can locate assets by analysing visual elements within images and videos, such as objects, colours, and scenes, even in the absence of tags or metadata. This groundbreaking functionality eliminates reliance on manual tagging and accelerates asset retrieval. Additionally, AI tagging and Facial Recognition streamline asset management.

Faster Implementation and Migration

Canto's average implementation timeline is just 21 days, thanks to seamless integrations with Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. This ensures you can start managing assets quickly. IntelligenceBank’s implementation timelines tend to vary, often requiring more time​.
