With our solution, you can enable the wishlist or configurator option. This feature allows you to, like a detailed product sheet on a website, move technical data or product information into this sheet. You can then add products to your wishlist and share it.

Here is an example of the CENTRAKOR flyer with the wishlist option

The wishlist enhances drive-to-store by adding statistical data for each viewed product sheet. It can also be integrated into your site’s shopping cart to boost drive-to-web.

In configurator mode, particularly useful in product catalogs, it allows for managing multi-pricing by distributor, and sending orders to sales administration or sales representatives.

You can enhance certain parts of your document with text or images by connecting a CSV file to the document. This allows you to generate personalized versions of your documents using a simple Excel file.

Our playlist feature allows you, if you produce your catalogs in double-page spreads (EasyCatalogue export), to maintain your production habits. You can create a comprehensive document by generating a playlist of your double-page exports.

Another use case for the playlist is creating variations of your catalog. For example, if you have a catalog with 14 sections, you can create targeted versions by selecting certain sections to produce customized excerpts. For instance, Ms. Michu can view her promotional catalog starting with the fresh produce section, which is her favorite, followed by the breakfast section. This way, you can generate a multitude of catalog variations, each with its own URL. Here are 3 promo catalogs generated by Centrakor
