questions

What is Relatial?

Relatial is a marketing portal that specialises in the management of complex organisational structures and the individualisation as well as localisation of marketing materials. The platform consists of a central portal that manages and provides all data and allows external systems to be connected. In addition, it has a powerful internal e-commerce application that makes ordering marketing materials easy and user-friendly. Furthermore, CHILI publisher is integrated and enhanced with useful document management features.

What is Software as a Service (SaaS)?

SAAS stands for "Software as a Service" and refers to a type of software that is provided as a service over the internet. Users can access the software without downloading or installing it. Unlike traditional software that you install on your own computer, SAAS is delivered over the internet and runs on the provider's servers. The user does not have to provide or manage their own infrastructure.


SAAS products offer many advantages, such as:

  • No high initial investment in hardware or infrastructure
  • No need for internal IT resources for maintenance and support
  • Flexibility and scalability, as most SAAS solutions are billed monthly and can be easily adapted to changing needs
  • Updates and enhancements are provided by the vendor and installed automatically

How is Relatial hosted?

We host our solution in a German data centre in accordance with European data protection regulations. 

Is my data secure?

netzwerk P has obtained TISAX certification, which is the automotive industry's standard for information security management. TISAX requirements are significantly more stringent than the ISO 27001 standards. Our certification shows that we are dedicated to safeguarding our customers' data and is an indication of our strong emphasis on data security. Furthermore, we host our servers in Europe and continuously update our platform with the latest security measures, ensuring that our customers' data is always protected.

What is a brand or marketing portal?

A brand portal (or also called a marketing portal) is an online platform that helps companies communicate and promote their brand identity and brand values. It is a central place where companies can store and share all important brand information internally and externally. This includes, for example, design guidelines, campaign information, logos and other assets.


The primary purpose of a brand portal is to ensure that all employees and external partners of a company can access the same brand information and resources. It can also help ensure brand consistency and integrity by being a central platform where the latest versions of brand materials are available and preventing the use of outdated or unauthorised brand resources.


A brand portal can also include features that facilitate collaboration and the exchange of ideas and feedback between team members, such as commenting and rating and reviewing features for brand resources.

From what size of company is Relatial useful?

The size of the company is not necessarily decisive for your decision. Consider how complex your MarTech landscape is, how complex your marketing supply processes are and how many marketing customisations you have created manually. For the last point, we provide a simple calculator here. Find out how quickly Relatial can be profitable for you. 

Do you charge per user?

Unlike many other providers, we rely on a fixed monthly fee. This offers you the following advantages: 

  • Cost savings: As you don't have to pay for each individual user who may only use the software sporadically. Instead, they pay for all use of the software, regardless of how many people access it.
  • Simpler administration: Managing software licences and controlling billing is easier. 
  • Predictability: They have better predictability and predictability of costs because they pay a fixed amount for the use of the software. This can make it easier to plan budgets and control spending.
  • Scalability: We simply grow with you and you don't have to even think about it!
