The Secure, Self-Hosted Digital Asset Management Software

How Can Cells Solve Your Digital Asset Management Challenges?

Not only developed as a document-sharing and collaboration tool, Cells is also a powerful, full-featured DAM solution that will help your organization cut through the clutter and make your documents findable, shareable and manageable, even at an enterprise scale. 

Here are a few of the ways we help you meet your digital asset management challenges:

• Unified workspace model: The "Cells" workspace concept organizes brand assets, campaign files, and creative work under a single permission boundary. Grant an agency or freelancer access to a Cell, and they see exactly what was intended.
• Flexible, rebuilt metadata: Create and define custom metadata fields (usage rights, expiration dates, brand, campaign, format) and control the order they appear and whether they're used as search criteria. Learn more here.
• NLP-powered search across all content and storage: Full-text search spans connected storage backends (local filesystem, S3-compatible object storage, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage) plus metadata. NLP-assisted search suggests terms and surfaces related assets, cutting the recreation waste that costs teams real budget.
• Role-based access: Eight levels of granular permission control ensure only authorized users can access, edit, or download specific assets — critical when external agencies and partners are in the mix.
• Version control: Teams work on the same asset without ambiguity about which version is current, with full history retained.
• Automated taxonomy via Flows: Cells Flows can enforce metadata completion at upload and apply classification tags automatically, so every new asset is findable and rights-tracked from the moment it lands — no manual tagging backlog.
• Interoperability: Build custom connectors via Flows to integrate with CMS, marketing automation, and project management tools for seamless creative workflows.
• Data sovereignty by architecture: Self-hosted on-premises, in a private cloud, or in a sovereign regional cloud of your choice. No US-based vendor, no CLOUD Act exposure, no data residency ambiguity for the brand and campaign assets that carry the most reputational risk.
• Scalability: Built on Helm and Kubernetes to put enterprise-level scalability within reach as asset libraries grow.
• Access on the go: Teams, partners, and clients can securely access assets from anywhere, on any device, including iOS and Android apps.

No Separate DAM License, No Separate DAM Vendor 

Most DAM tools solve exactly one problem: organizing brand assets. The moment marketing needs to share a campaign folder with an agency, or legal needs to approve final creative, teams are back to exporting files into yet another sharing tool — and losing the metadata, permissions, and version history that made the DAM useful in the first place.

Cells closes that gap by handling asset management and sharing in the same system. Metadata and access rules travel with the file no matter who it's shared with. That also means one deployment to budget for instead of a DAM subscription plus a sharing subscription plus the integration work to connect them.
