Make complex product ranges easy to find

Especially with technical products and large product ranges, structure determines whether customers and employees quickly find the right product. Categories, attributes, filters, search functions, and product relationships make even complex product worlds clear and easy to navigate.

Use product data from your systems

Technical attributes, variants, images, and data sheets usually come from the PIM; article numbers, units, and availabilities from the ERP. ECOPLAN brings both together so that each piece of information is maintained in only one place.

How a digital product catalog relieves sales and service

In many companies, product information is still regularly provided manually or pieced together from different systems. A digital product catalog provides this information centrally and in a structured way.

Customers, sales, and service can find and use products, technical data, documents, and accessories on their own. This reduces the effort for recurring information requests, manual provision of documents, and duplicate maintenance.

Services for implementing your product catalog

ECOPLAN supports companies from the analysis of existing product data and data sources, through structuring and conceptual design, to the technical implementation and integration of the digital product catalog.

In the process, information from ERP, PIM, catalog, and other enterprise systems is brought together and prepared so that it becomes useful for customers, sales, and service.

For technical products that require explanation

Digital product catalogs make the most sense where product ranges are extensive, technical, or rich in variants. ECOPLAN has project experience in industries where product attributes, documentation, accessories, spare parts, and complex product relationships play an important role.

From product catalog to B2B web shop

A digital product catalog can start on its own and be expanded step by step later. Customer login, customer-specific product ranges and prices, availabilities, or ordering functions can be added when product information is to become a digital sales channel.

This way, ECOPLAN develops a product catalog into an integrated B2B web shop when needed, without rebuilding the existing product data foundation.
