What is Cavok?

Organize, edit and distribute digital assets in the cloud or on your own servers.

By centrally managing digital assets in Cavok, they can be found, organized, shared and reused faster, resulting in a significant increase in efficiency. Organizations and companies save time and money by using Cavok to reduce the manual search and management of assets. Teams and departments benefit from optimized collaboration by facilitating asset sharing and ensuring compliance with brand guidelines and corporate standards.

The Cavok DAM system provides better control and security for digital assets by restricting access to assets through extensive rights management and ensuring that only authorized users can access them. Customized and sophisticated workflows are one of Cavok's strengths!

The flexible system architecture and openness for interfaces enable easy connection to other systems. Updates and upgrades are therefore uncomplicated and can be carried out without great effort. The customer decides where the data is hosted! Data is stored either in a German data center (cloud), on your own servers (e.g. also on a Synology NAS) or as a hybrid solution.

Cavok is the only system that offers all functions (such as opening all common file formats) and all features in the standard package free of charge. The functional scope of the cloud or on-premise solution is identical. The price structure is transparent and without hidden costs.
