Like Razuna, Pixelboxx is a new vendor we started covering in our Digital & Media Asset Management Report.

Pixelboxx and their product PrimePack is disciplined and organized, as you might 
expect from a German-engineered 
product. 
Pixelboxx Prime Pack grew from its
 roots of a Fast-Moving Consumer 
Goods (FMCG)-oriented media 
asset management product to a more 
broad offering.

One of the interesting features about this DAM product is their Intermedia Fotoficient module, which (like FlipFactory) acts as a transcoding and rendering engine. The approach of foregoing FlipFactory (which is being used by the majority of DAM vendors we cover) and building its own engine is rather unique.

Unlike Razuna and Picturepark, which also started out in the region adorned with the Alps, Pixelboxx is barely stretching out beyond the DACH region, or beyond primarily serving the German-speaking market. The entire product is very German-centric; despite the utilitarian and minimalistic interface, using it may make you wish you had taken that German class in college.

To be fair, Pixelboxx is trying to establish itself in the UK market via a partner channel, which right now counts one system integrator that is selling and customizing the DAM product. However, it is decidedly too early to speak of Pixelboxx as a global company, but time will tell. You can get the full and real story on this vendor in my detailed evaluation.
