Powerful and efficient communication due to standardization and automation

Strategy, leadership, and controlling are central components in the job profiles of marketing responsibles. In reality, they only build about 20 percent of daily workload. Administrative tasks and project coordination are very time-consuming. That is, where marketing resource management (MRM) comes in the game to automate and standardize the operational marketing tasks. MRM analyzes and changes marketing processes deeply to guarantee an efficient brand leadership (internal factor) and brand consistency (in the outer appearance).

Central knowledge data base
gateB optimizies brand leadership in all relevant processes. By modularization, the MRM portal can be adapted to every specific customer's needs. Its core often is a CI portal with all brand-relevant information, from guidelines to templates or best practices. This digital contact point for all persons involved in the marketing processes is a great relief for the bearers of knowledge. Digital asset management is an other central part of clever MRM, making accessible marketing and communication data of all kind.

Consistent and efficient marketing communication
Units, wherever they are, are enabled to conduct different marketing tasks. Central marketing as a consequence is more in a consulting and assisting function and saves many resources. Local or international branches can individualize their advertisement materials – based on CI-consistent templates and with sophisticated approval processes – and send them with a click to the printing house. Costs for coordination and adaption are also reduced.

Transparency in the whole marketing planning
Our MRM solution cooperation and communication happens electronically for all marketing activities, and the status of all documents is visible to everybody. Clearly defined role rights minimize the sources of error.

Central process managment and digital mirroring.
A comprehensive view of process optimization is required on customer's side to get as much value as possible out of cooperation. Process re-engineering for example is determined to manage all marketing processes centrally and to mirror them digitally.
