What Relayter does

Relayter B.V. is a Haarlem, Netherlands-based SaaS company, founded in 2017, that sells a content automation platform purpose-built for enterprise retailers. The platform ingests promotional product data and automatically generates thousands of on-brand marketing assets across print (leaflets, catalogs, POS materials, magazines), digital (CRM mailings, display ads, PLP banners, web content), and video (social video, animation) formats, targeting retail organizations that produce high volumes of recurring promotional content. Its customer base spans supermarkets (SPAR, Jan Linders, Vomar, Dirk, Deka, Kruidvat, Trekpleister), DIY and home improvement (Praxis/Maxeda, Kooyman, Handyhome, MENOpro), pet care (Welkoop), health & beauty (A.S. Watson group), and e-commerce (Bol.com/Ahold Delhaize), with newer 2025-2026 logos including Samsung, Cheil, and Boon Food Group.

The platform is built cloud-native and API-first, with a flexible JSON REST API, CloudEvents-style webhooks (with HMAC signing and timestamp verification), OpenID Connect SSO, SCIM v2 provisioning, and OAuth authentication. Its technical differentiator is a deep integration with Adobe InDesign Server for automated template generation and InDesign file output, complemented by official Adobe Photoshop (Assets Manager) and InDesign (Publication Manager) plugins, advanced digital asset management with metadata tagging, customizable proofing workflows with role-based permissions, and integration with ERP, PIM, and DAM systems. The company holds ISO 27001 certification and is GDPR-compliant, with a Trust Center at trust.relayter.com.

Relayter operates an enterprise sales-led GTM motion featuring 45-minute live demo sessions, direct phone engagement, and quote-based annual SaaS subscriptions. Headcount is approximately 20 professionals, and the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, M&A activity, or revenue figures, suggesting a bootstrapped, founder-led operating model focused on the Benelux and broader European retail market.
