Product catalog software is used to publish product information to the Internet, providing sales staff and customers 24/7 access to products and information.

Key components of product catalog software can include:

• A catalog structure that can support product data, including product attributes and behaviors.
• Data transformation tools to repurpose existing product data for use in online catalogs.
• Selection and search tools, so customers can easily locate the products they need.
• Product configuration tools, so customers can select product options for complex (i.e. highly configurable) products.
• Product visualization tools, so customers can see what they've selected.
• CAD tools to provide downloadable CAD files from design and build-to-order catalog systems.
• Transaction tools, such as a "shopping cart" function, so customers can build and submit purchase requests.
• Integration tools to streamline transactions, such as passing purchase requests to back-end order entry systems.

TechniCon's product catalog software, CustomCommerce, provides a comprehensive set of these key components, allowing companies to offer Web-based catalogs tailored to their customers needs.

CustomCommerce catalogs can also be "co-branded" with your company's Web site design and navigation scheme to match your overall Web strategy.
