SAP – EasyCatalog data integration​

In many organizations, SAP is the central system for managing business and product information. Think of prices, product data, stock levels, and customer information: all crucial data that changes daily. However, when this information is needed for publications—such as catalogs, brochures, or price lists—SAP data integration often becomes a complex and time-consuming task.

With EasyCatalog, this process becomes much simpler and more efficient.

The challenge of SAP Data Integration

Directly connecting SAP data to publication channels or Adobe InDesign usually comes with obstacles:

• Manual exports and data uploads.
• Inconsistent or outdated product information.
• Significant time loss due to corrections and duplicate entry.

The result? Publications that are delayed, product information errors, and frustration for both marketing and IT teams.

EasyCatalog as the solution

EasyCatalog, a powerful Adobe InDesign plug-in, enables product information to be integrated directly from SAP into your publications. With this connection, you create an automated product catalog workflow, ensuring all data is consistent, up-to-date, and error-free in your InDesign documents.

Real-world example

A manufacturer that publishes a quarterly price list used to go through a lengthy process: exporting data from SAP, cleaning it in Excel, and then importing it into InDesign. With the SAP and EasyCatalog integration, this process is fully automated. The price list is automatically populated with live SAP data, and any changes in the source system are immediately reflected in InDesign. The result: a faster time-to-market and error-free publications.
