Qbank DAM

What Qbank DAM does

Qbank DAM, operated by the Swedish entity QBNK Company AB (Org. nr. 556653-3070, headquartered at Karlavägen 100A, Stockholm), is an enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) software vendor founded in 2003. The company provides a governed platform that lets complex organizations store, control, and distribute rich media — images, videos, product data, manuals, and brand files — across teams, markets, and channels. It targets mid-to-large enterprises with cross-departmental content operations and reports serving over 500,000 users globally across verticals including manufacturing, medtech, retail, fashion, food, construction, and real estate. Named customers include Coop, J.Lindeberg, Arjo, Atlas Copco, Peab, Tepe, Lantmännen, Coop Norway, and JM.

The core product is the QBank DAM Platform, built on an object-based architecture that supports flexible metadata configuration, custom property sets and taxonomies, role-based permissions, multi-brand structures, multi-language metadata, and secure EU cloud hosting (with a 2023 infrastructure migration to AWS). It is extended through modular add-ons: Smart AI (auto-tagging, image analysis, natural-language/semantic search), Powerful Automations, Moodboards, In-depth Statistics, Branded Portals (QPortal) for external distribution, Consent Management for GDPR/rights workflows, Content Hub, and QAcademy training. An API-first design with a REST API and webhooks underpins an extensive connector ecosystem spanning Adobe Photoshop/InDesign, CMS platforms (Optimizely, Umbraco, Drupal, WordPress), Office 365, browser extensions, PIM systems (Inriver), e-commerce platforms, and the YouTube API for video management.

The business model is subscription-based SaaS with quote-based, value-based enterprise pricing tailored to organization size, user count, asset volume, and feature requirements (portals, integrations, storage), billed annually and inclusive of hosting, support, and continuous updates. Go-to-market is a direct, consultative enterprise field-sales motion centered on demos with a DAM expert, supported by content marketing (blog, guides, RFP/whitepapers), webinars, QAcademy training, and an active G2 presence. The company is listed publicly under the ticker STO:QBNK (though one source characterizes it as privately held) and maintains an investor relations page. The firm employs an estimated 11–50 people.
