Automatic layout of your catalog|

Speed up and automate publishing information from your database to various promotional materials with EasyCatalog. Our personalised guidance and support will help you set up the system and create custom templates.

Time savings, efficiency and accuracy

Manually creating and managing catalogues, price lists and other marketing materials is a time-consuming task. It brings inefficiencies, errors and delays, preventing your marketing from working optimally.

The traditional process of searching, copying and pasting information is time-consuming and can lead to inconsistencies and outdated information.

We help you set up EasyCatalog in InDesign. This allows you to streamline your catalogue management. Automatic data import and synchronisation ensure accuracy and time savings in print production.

Time saving

Generate hundreds of pages in one click, error-free and ready to use immediately.

Up-to-date

Quickly adjust data fed from Excel, Odoo, Akeneo, Microsoft Business Central, Plytix and more….

Flexible

Effortless customisation of layouts, evolves with the needs of your business.

Every quarter, we compile personalised price lists for all our loyal customers, available in both Dutch and French. Previously, this task together with my colleague took more than a week. But thanks to EasyCatalog and Dieter's expert guidance, we can now create them flawlessly in less than an hour!

Just as tasting our wines is a sensory experience, we want to extend this feeling to all aspects of our business. The touch, smell and sound of turning the pages in our price list creates a connection that technology cannot match.

I no longer have to deal with boring, repetitive tasks, which means I now have more time to let my creativity run wild. Moreover, I no longer bear the final responsibility for technical data and pricing in our printing. This allows me to fully focus on delivering high-quality and creative designs.

In addition to our printed catalogue, we also have a handy PDF. The best part? With interactive features like clickable item numbers, you can effortlessly navigate to the desired item in our webshop.

We work with technically complex products that require a large amount of data. This made designing catalogues and technical sheets a time-consuming task. Thanks to Easycatalog, we can now manage our data centrally and import them directly into our Indesign files. This saves us a huge amount of time, allowing us to focus on what really matters: the design itself.

Frequently asked questions

EasyCatalog lets you import different types of data, including Excel or CSV files. Moreover, you can connect to different systems such as Akeneo, Odoo, Microsoft Business Central, Compano, Pimcore, Sharepoint, Plytix and more, via JSON/XML feeds (or ODBC/MySQL).

You can even link different sources together, for example connecting product data to price tables via a unique ID. This way, data is easily retrieved and merged.

To import images into EasyCatalog, you can place them locally on your computer or on a file server. The images can be located in different subfolders, EasyCatalog can automatically locate and import them.

Another option is to include a link to the image in your data. At the time of generation, EasyCatalog will automatically ‘download’ the most recent images, so you will always use the most up-to-date visuals.

Configuration and templating

We help set up the system and create custom templates. After successful implementation, we offer training so you can get started yourself. You only need to update the licences annually. Optionally, you can also opt for a maintenance contract for ongoing support.

Complete carefree service

If required, we can take care of everything from A to Z for you. We take the entire process off your hands and deliver a print-ready PDF file as the end result.

The standard lead time is 2 months after approval of the offer, provided all info/data is available.

After automatically generating a catalogue, you can retrieve its page number per article on the page. You can then use these page numbers to create a table of contents or an index, or a table of contents per chapter, etc…
Naturally, we can then link these to the correct page (in the case of a pdf).

Templates are formatted in InDesign and define the appearance of your product(s). A template can be a full page or spread (e.g. for technical data sheets), but also a simple product block that is repeated in your document.

Multiple templates can be created, after which EasyCatalog automatically chooses the most suitable one depending on the chapter or other criteria. The logic you can apply is endless, ensuring that repetitive data can be created and modified quickly.

Yes! There are several ways to create a catalogue with multiple languages:
  • you can generate a separate document for each language
  • you can choose to generate the different languages on top of each other (in different layers) simultaneously
  • you can create a document of (preferably the longest language – in most cases French). Using a kind of search-and-replace, you can then replace all French-language fields with another language. Because you can bundle several language fields together (using the suffix, e.g. _be-FR), you can do this quickly.

When I work with a large/dynamic database, I provide a field where you can enter the desired language, and then all data is filtered by that language, for further use.

The following barcodes and QR codes can be generated automatically (i.e. they do not have to be created separately first!):

  • EAN5,
  • EAN8,
  • EAN13,
  • EAN14,
  • Code 39,
  • Code 128,
  • GS1-128,
  • UPCA,
  • I2Of5,
  • Data Matrix,
  • QR Code.

EAN13, Data Matrix and QR code are the most commonly used codes.

These can also be made clickable in the case of a pdf.

If you don’t have a database or product photos yet, no worries! We can put you in touch with the right partners.
Master Data Partners, for example, may be mentioned as an excellent company that does photography and input of your products.

Yes and no!
Setting up the system requires some thinking and puzzling.
It takes knowledge of databases and data structure to load them correctly into EasyCatalog. It also takes knowledge of InDesign to create templates and know what can (and cannot) be done.

With EasyCatalog, you can achieve your goal in several ways, but what is the best way…?

That’s why, as a certified EasyCatalog specialist, I’m here to help you!

Once everything is set up, tested and approved, it sure is Easy to then start generating things yourself!

EasyCatalog has a powerful ‘grouping’ function. This allows products to be bundled by chapter/subchapter/category/product group/…

Products that are available in different variants (colour, sizes, weight, dimension, content, …) can be bundled, so that e.g. one picture is displayed, together with a table of the different variants.

With more than 16 years of experience under my belt, I have the necessary know-how to bring your project to a successful conclusion. From a ‘simple’ installation to custom-made scripts to synchronise your data or speed up the workflow, we can certainly help.

Javascript and LUA are my daily bread. With the right connections within the advertising and marketing world, we always think along with you.
