Content Manager
An important strategic asset for growing organizations is reusable product information. Organized and structured product information is necessary for successfully executing a multi-channel strategy. Catalogforce Content Manager is a product catalog database that makes it easy for growing organizations to centralize their content in a "channel-independent" format that can be quickly published to Print, Web, CD, Sales or Customer Service Catalogs.
Catalogforce brings structure and order to your catalog content by offering a powerful single point of control for product descriptions, images, documents, and other pertinent product information. Catalogforce content management offers the following benefits:
Product Database: A centralized content database that product management or merchandising can use to add and maintain product information such as categorization, products, descriptions, pricing, images and documents. The same product database also acts like a master source for web, cd, sales, customer-service and call center catalogs.
Centralized Content Management: Catalogforce centralizes product content management and deployment for the whole enterprise. Since customers, partners and distributors access the catalog through a variety of means, Catalogforce takes a centralized approach to address the issue.
Intuitive Interface: With an easy-to-use content management system, users have the ability to setup products and maintain products with ease.
Product Import: Product and Price updates can be imported with an intuitive and easy to use Import Wizard.
Product Export: Product Information can be exported with an intuitive and easy to use Export Wizard.
Multi-Dimensional Search: Catalogs can be searched using a variety of criteria such as Item Number, description, keyword or any other product attribute. Catalogs can also be accessed through an index or a category hierarchy making it easy to locate parts in a variety of ways.
Categorization: Catalog content can be filtered from a big result set to a smaller set based on technical specifications. This feature makes it easy to filter through thousands of possible hits to the right product in few clicks.
Images & Assets: This feature allows you to manage Product Images and Assets along with product descriptions and copy to unify all product content in a logical way for easy access and reuse.
Documents Management: Extended product information, technical notes, user guides, product manuals, MSDS sheets and URLs can be managed within Catalogforce Content Manager.
Product Comparison: Some users like to compare similar products by placing them side by side to view the differences. This feature displays the respective product images, descriptions, technical specifications and pricing for comparative purposes.
Content Validation: With this feature product content is validated at the point of data entry to ensure that information is captured correctly to begin with so content appears accurately in all published catalogs.
Product Lifecycle Management: Most products are added to a catalog initially as new products and are eventually dis-continued as better revisions replace active products. This process of managing a products lifecycle is critical.
Attribute Security: Some organizations have multiple tiers of users with access to different kinds of product information. With attribute security you can give access to product attributes based on the role of the user. For example: Customer Service gets access to new, active and dis-continued products but does not get access to product cost.
