FAQ

Why should you use Katalog.world?

When selling products to resellers, brands / suppliers often have to provide product data to help with product sales and management (dies, product sheets, images, etc.).

In these cases, resellers have several options for identifying new products in their management or sales tools.

  • Request long and complex import matrices from the supplier.
  • Require access to databases or other media centers to be able to copy and paste data from one system to another.
  • Copy pdf catalogs or spreadsheets to create product sheets
  • Re-enter paper catalogs
  • Copy other reseller sites to acquire product data easily when the data is difficult to access.

This re-entry work is extremely tedious and costly for the entire chain with a consequent risk of loss of information quality, or data corruption.
Not to mention the time required which can seriously increase the time to sell products and therefore a direct impact on the sell out rate.

Created by independent retailers, the main mission of Katalog.world is therefore unique and simple:
Transmit, from a GTIN (EAN or UPC), to a third party as quickly as possible the most reliable product information available and format it for a rapid and personalized use.

The promise is to create product sheets using our algorithms to reduce the time it takes to re-enter content, which is a brake on commerce.

For brands, using Katalog.world to spread product data ensures that informations in its catalog are accessible by all of its contacts, without loss of data, and without friction in their consumption.
And guarantee, of course, that the right product information will end up in the right places.

It’s too a sureness that when a reseller uses Katalog.world the data that algorithms push him is in accordance with what the brand expects.

Already have a product information management process?

Your company already working with a PIM or a DAM (Product Information Manager – Digital Asset Manager), there is no problem with that. You will be able to broadcast your catalog directly to Katalog.world.

Katalog.world is not a competitor for those tools because Katalog.world is focused on front product information.

If you use some tools like PIM you can see Katalog.world as a diffusion channel working with your actual system.

How do the Katalog.world algorithms works if the official brand data has not been distributed to Katalog.world?

NB: Katalog.world does not sell data, it is a tool for collecting, researching, compiling and formatting data to meet a need expressed by the user (professional or not).

It is the first product data crowdsourcing tool.

In the event of a request by a retailer on an unknown GTIN (the brand does not yet collaborate with Katalog.world), the algorithms will try to collect data to respond to the request.

Katalog.world then scours the web to find the data and aggregate different sources to meet its mission.
=> Generate a product sheet.

It is therefore possible that the algorithms collect incomplete or unreliable informations.
The user is made aware of the relative reliability of the data thanks to a score assigned for each data by Katalog.world.
But in any case, the user will be the only decision maker whether or not to use the data for his catalog.
