The BASIX^® CATALOG & COMMUNICATE^® Product Manager is a fully interactive product management tool that gives your foodservice operation the power to centralize, manage and maintain all relevant data for every product you handle.

When you consider that 80 percent of the digitized information within an organization typically resides on the personal hard drives and in the files of employees, are you at risk of losing valuable information that’s pertinent to operating an efficient organization? Given the importance of product information to the inner workings of your operation, shouldn’t it be managed centrally? Foodservice product management becomes more efficient and more effective with the data warehousing and automated notification components of CATALOG & COMMUNICATE.

A web-based product management system, CATALOG & COMMUNICATE acts as a central information repository for all of your product data. The system is composed of:

• A data warehouse and entry component that enables personnel throughout your organization to enter and maintain information about distributors, suppliers, products and contract prices.
• A communications component that utilizes your business rules to activate a variety of automated notifications to both internal and external parties.

Use of the product management system improves data accuracy by reducing the potential for human errors. It also reduces set-up time and increases speed-to-market for new product introductions.

Use CATALOG & COMMUICATE to achieve optimum efficiency in handling a variety of supply chain information and data warehousing requirements, including:

• Maintaining Product Specifications
• Maintaining Contracts
• Automating Communications
• Validating Electronic Order Guides

BASIX customizes CATALOG & COMMUNICATE to mimic your existing business processes – thereby automating them – while eliminating repetitive, non-value-added activities. The web-based nature of the system makes all information accessible to personnel throughout your organization, yet avoids any additional burden on your IT staff. Additionally, we can integrate CATALOG & COMMUNICATE with other internal systems (such as your POS or back office systems) to support various functional information needs. Whatever your foodservice product management needs, BASIX system can provide data warehousing, applied business intelligence, and automated supply chain communications.
