Once product information is consolidated and in an electronic format, it can be leveraged by automating notifications to your internal personnel and supply chain partners. CATALOG & COMMUNICATE^® enables you to streamline the communications process by eliminating the need to manually communicate the same information five, 10, even 20 times, as well as ensure greater accuracy in the information that is communicated.

With CATALOG & COMMUNICATE, you can quickly and efficiently:

• Alert each person involved in the product set-up and approval process that their input is required – and make sure they know the product will move no further in the process without their input.


• Notify appropriate personnel of changes that impact various company activities, such as budgeting, quality assurance and unit operations.


• Notify distributors of new products, product deactivations and reactivations, product specification changes that are material to their operations and contract price changes.


• Alert purchasing agents of products with contract prices due to expire.

Communications, which are transmitted based on your timeframes and prompts, are available in a variety of formats. Recipients can select their preferred product notification method (e-mail or FTP) and data format (PDF, Excel, delimited or XML), and all communications activity is recorded.
