About Rheinhessen-Touristik GmbH & Rheinhessenwein e.V.

Rheinhessen Touristik GmbH and Rheinhessenwein e.V. are responsible for the strategic marketing of Germany’s largest wine-growing region with over 2,000 wineries. With a clear focus on sustainable tourism development and the combination of urban and rural experiences, they position Rheinhessen as an innovative tourism region. The organisations work closely with tourism professionals, wineries, wine retailers and the trade press to promote the region’s strengths and create experiences for visitors and partners.

Initial situation

Originally, Rheinhessen Touristik used two outdated systems to manage image material and brand information: the Joomla-based Rheinhessen Mediathek and the ‘Rheinhessen-Zeichen’ platform.

These systems were technically limited and not scalable enough to meet the increasing demands. Manual approval processes, a lack of filtering capabilities and the use of WeTransfer for external data exchange created significant inefficiencies.


The challenge

Media data was scattered across multiple platforms, resulting in long search times and a significant loss of efficiency.

Manual approval processes also slowed down workflows, requiring time-consuming coordination. The lack of filtering options also made image search difficult, especially when it came to searching for content by topic, mood or location.

Data sharing with external partners was limited by file size restrictions and lack of scalability. In addition, rights issues and potential copyright infringements could not be resolved efficiently, causing additional uncertainty and delays.

The new uploader feature lets us seamlessly integrate content from our partner hubs into our system—a real game-changer for our collaboration.

Solution

After a structured selection phase, Rheinhessen Touristik decided to use 4ALLPORTAL as a central (DAM) system to centrally and securely organise its 12,000 assets.

The DAM is mainly used by the press and marketing department, but is also available to external advertisers who can access the content after registration. The platform currently has 274 registered users.

  • Allocation of the Rheinhessen Trademark: Users can simply request the trademark, enter the background of the use directly and the use is documented directly in the system.
  • Image Search: Keywords facilitate the search. Thematic collections focus on relevant content.
  • Easy Media Sharing: The e-ticketing feature makes it easy to share media packages without user registration.
  • Integration of IPTC data: This enables standardised processing of media data.
  • Partner Content Sharing: City partner centres will soon be able to share their content directly through the system. This simplifies collaboration and clarifies rights issues such as copyright.

Results

  • Save time: Faster media search and distribution.
  • Productivity: Reduced staff workload through streamlined workflows.
  • Brand Reinforcement: Professional imagery and consistent communication of the region.
  • Strengthen Collaboration: First insights into the content of the partner bases encourage regional cooperation.
