Description
One central place for your images and product data – out to every B2B channel
nSales is used by brands to sell to retailers through a B2B webshop, a mobile sales app and a retailer app. The quality of product images and product information across the three channels is decisive for sales – but the files are often scattered across folders, emails and shared links.
By integrating nSales with Kontainer, you get one central DAM & PIM as the source for your digital assets and product data. Kontainer manages structure, metadata, rights and approval, while nSales handles sales to your retailers.
Integration via API makes it possible to:
- Fetch approved product images and other files from Kontainer for use in nSales
- Ensure that images and product data are up to date across webshop, sales app and retailer app
- Preserve metadata and the relationship between products and their files
- Reduce manual work around uploading and updating material

nSales
Why an nSales – Kontainer DAM integration?
nSales is strong at B2B sales – webshop, sales app and retailer app, connected to your ERP. But product images and brand material are rarely best managed in a sales system.
By combining nSales with Kontainer, you get the best of both worlds:
- Kontainer manages files, metadata, product data and rights
- nSales handles sales to retailers across channels
Kontainer’s API makes it possible to connect directly to nSales and ensure an automatic, consistent exchange of files and product data without manual processes.
Use Cases
How the integration is used in practice
- Brands selling to retailers can ensure the same approved product images are used in the webshop, sales app and retailer app.
- Sales reps can present new collections with the latest images and product data when visiting customers.
- Product teams can prepare and approve images in Kontainer so they are automatically ready for retailers at launch.
- Companies with multiple brands or markets can keep track of images and versions centrally – and avoid uncontrolled local copies.
