Why do brands choose Catsy PIM & DAM?
At Catsy, we take pride in our fast implementation that saves you money. We have implemented our system, including publishing setup, for some firms within nine days. This included importing 66,000 products into their information database. While we can't guarantee this speed for every company since sizes and needs differ, we can guarantee results: your product information will become available to all departments that need it, from customer service personnel who can easily access updates and prices without searching through multiple binders, to sales reps who can create a quick catalog to show clients your latest offerings and upgrades. Your company's departments will have up-to-the-second product information at their fingertips, available for print or other applications.
Our IT department can build catalog software. Why should I consider Catsy?
While your IT department could try to build a system, our experience (and those of many firms) has shown that building your own system will cost more and usually doesn't fulfill all the requirements. Catsy has constantly been iterating and improving our platform for 13 years. While your IT department could perhaps make a system, it would have nowhere near the functionality and advanced catalog support that Catsy has. Usually the staff in charge of building a catalog system does not have expertise in creating and implementing product information management systems. Implementing product information management takes a certain skillset: such as API knowledge of publishing software applications like Adobe InDesign and an understanding of the publishing workflow. Here are the main reasons why you should talk to Catsy: we can deliver the same results faster and cost-effectively. Our software applications are built and ready for installation. So you will see results sooner with Catsy. We invested roughly 100 man-years in the research, design, development, and testing of our systems.
Can you provide facts about what other customers have achieved with your software?
In one company that implemented Catsy, product information updates in company catalogs went from 30 days to 3 days with resulting savings and improved product update to customer time. Average hold times in another client's customer service department were reduced from 15 minutes to 5 minutes. Why? The service personnel no longer had to search multiple company binders for product information. Instead, they were able to use Catsy's powerful search functionality to quickly and easily find the information that customers needed - resulting in improved customer satisfaction scores.
