Product Catalog Builder

"Product Catalog Builder" version 8.2.0.2525 is an essential tool for businesses attempting to keep their customers updated with their latest offerings. Developed by Product Catalog Builder, this software falls under the Home & Hobby category, specifically within the Bookkeeping-Cataloging subcategory. This review covers its latest version, 8.2.0.2525, but earlier versions such as 8.2, and 7.5 are also available.

The intuitive interface of Product Catalog Builder makes catalog creation a breeze. Users do not need special skills or hardware, and elements can be visually laid out, enhancing ease of use. One of its major advantages is that once the catalog is created, it's straightforward to maintain. Older products can be removed while new ones are added without having to rearrange the entire layout, unlike printed catalogs.

With Product Catalog Builder, you can build electronic catalogs and distribute them on CDs, providing a compact and lightweight alternative to traditional printed catalogs. The built-in Make CD wizard simplifies the process, and adding a CD catalog to a magazine issue becomes a practical possibility. Another remarkable feature is the ability to create an online store effortlessly using the E-store functionality. This ensures you're not sending entire new versions of your catalog to clients, but rather updating their existing catalogs over the internet.

The Config.exe file is the main executable for the program, making it easy to install and run. The program allows users to order products directly from the catalog with built-in order forms, supporting immediate order placements via email, fax, or other methods. Special options for bulk sellers, an automatic discount calculator, and the ability to handle very large product catalogs as efficiently as smaller ones, add to its impressive capabilities.

"Product Catalog Builder" supports exporting to PDF and HTML, and can import data from various formats such as MS Access, Excel, DBF, TXT, XML, and CSV. The slide show mode is particularly useful for conventions or presentations. Users will also find it straightforward to search for a particular product within the catalog, enhancing its user-friendliness.

For businesses on a budget, Product Catalog Builder is available for free download. The ease of updating catalogs and reduced distribution costs make it a highly efficient tool for keeping customers informed.
