MeDaPro - The PIM-System
With a product information management PIM, you can quickly and easily create catalogs in a wide variety of publication forms. The idea: The data is only maintained in one place in the company and is therefore always up-to-date. Whether electronic catalogues, an internet shop or the classic paper catalogue, central data storage saves you time and money and you always have access to the most up-to-date database.
Use existing sources of information - old data and ERP system
Of course you can use your existing data: Various import options - from the formats csv and xls to mdb to electronic catalogs such as BMEcat - enable the convenient transfer of product information that has already been created or complete supplier data. In addition, you can connect MeDaPro to your ERP system. In this way, new articles with the desired information can be transferred directly without additional manual effort being required for the transfer. This is done with the MeDaPro ERP connector.
Maintain data centrally & classify
Once created, all product information - from the item description to the operating instructions - can be maintained in MeDaPro. A series of features simplifies your work: inheritance of item information, creation of feature lists for item groups and sophisticated rights management allow use even in complex corporate structures. Classification is also possible: MeDaPro offers a comfortable classification browser to classify articles according to ecl@ss, proficl@ss, UNSP/SC and ETIM. Customer-specific classification systems can also be integrated. The classification mapper also allows you to assign your product data to the standard ecl@ss feature lists.
Create Catalogs
Catalogs that you create from MeDaPro can contain customer-specific assortments or the entire delivery spectrum. Compose your selection simply by drag & drop. When mapping - linking the content from the MeDaPro database with the selected catalog format - you can then very flexibly determine the arrangement of the information in your catalogue. In this way you not only create paper catalogues, but also electronic catalogues, such as BMEcat or a catalog for the Internet shop TradePro.
MeDaPro BMEcat
