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. ![Catalog with gear Z 40: customers find the data sheet and CAD model themselves, fewer follow-up questions](/wAssets-ecoplan/img/agentur/produktkatalog-selbstbedienung-datenblatt-cad-en.svg) Catalog with gear Z 40: customers find the data sheet and CAD model themselves, fewer follow-up questions Fewer follow-up questions Less manual provision Faster product search Central use of existing product data ## 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. **01** **Analysis & consulting** **02** **Data structure** **03** **Conceptual design** **04** **Integration** **05** **Implementation** **06** **Further development** ## For technical products that require explanation Digital product catalogs make the most sense where product ranges are extensive, technical, or rich in variants.

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.

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 large can a digital product catalog get? The largest product catalog ECOPLAN has implemented comprises around 250,000 product variants and is displayed on 30 websites. ### Can a product catalog later be expanded into a B2B web shop? Yes. Customer login, customer-specific product ranges and prices, availabilities, or ordering functions can be added without rebuilding the existing product data foundation. ### What are the benefits of a digital product catalog for sales and service? Product information is provided centrally and in a structured way, instead of being passed on manually or pieced together from multiple systems. Customers, sales, and service find products, technical data, documents, and accessories on their own. This reduces the effort for recurring information requests, manual provision of documents, and duplicate maintenance. ### For which products and industries does a digital product catalog pay off? It pays off especially for extensive, technical, or variant-rich product ranges. ECOPLAN has project experience in industries where product attributes, documentation, accessories, spare parts, and complex product relationships are important, such as mechanical and plant engineering, the tools industry, chemicals, the electrical industry, packaging, and construction. ### How does ECOPLAN approach implementing a product catalog? ECOPLAN first analyzes the existing product data and data sources and develops the data structure and the concept. Integration and implementation follow, in which information from ERP, PIM, catalog, and other systems is brought together. Categories, attributes, filters, search functions, and product relationships make even complex product worlds clear and easy to navigate.
