Catalogs

A product information repository and database publishing system that enables merchandizing, marketing, creative, and production personnel to manage entire promotions, product mixes, and the visual assets used in display ads and catalogs.

Teambase is designed for: Retailers and Manufacturers managing diverse product information and associated digital assets, creating and delivering multi-channel advertising promotions, and tracking the results of their advertising across multiple campaigns and programs.

Teambase.retail provides a complete set of tools for managing catalogs from start to finish.  Merchandisers can plan and layout an entire promotion, while copywriters and product managers efficiently define, aggregate and categorize products.  Designers work with intelligent page templates and layout tools developed to maximize their creative skills.  This toolset is fully integrated with Teambase's existing content, workgroup, and workflow management capabilities, creating a robust system for catalogers, retailers, and product marketing companies.

The Teambase software allows all users in the merchandising and advertising workflow to achieve ultimate productivity with one common toolset to create, manage, build and publish highly versioned promotions across all customer work areas.

Agile Enterprise is the leader of versioned promotion solutions that allow retailers and catalogers across all industry segments to compress the promotions cycle, reuse existing digital media, and version their item message to increase accuracy, efficiency, and profitability.  Through Teambase Promotion Manager buyers, merchandising managers, copywriters and graphic artists create and manage digital assets and content, plan, build and version promotional events, and publish the completed flyer, catalog, or web content.

For Example: A large department store chain utilizes Teambase to fully manage the publishing of its weekly ROP’s and newspaper inserts.  Promotion and Product information that originates in the retailer’s enterprise system is imported and managed using Teambase’s Promotion Management tools.  Every Promotion detail is scheduled and planned in advance, from the page Templates to be used to the specific Product and Price versioning requirements.  Simple web-based tools support the generation, routing, and approval of product copy and new photography.  Page Templates assigned at the onset of the Promotion are available for designers to pick-up at any time.  The correct Product copy and Images are automatically assembled on the page, giving the designers more time to be creative.  Designed pages are easily routed through various stages of editing and on-line soft proofing, and at the appropriate time final prices are automatically updated from the retailers enterprise system.  Teambase’s automated page-assembly and dynamic pricing features enable the retailer to dramatically decrease cycle times, while fine-grained tracking capabilities and powerful reporting tools enable merchandisers and category managers to closely monitor their advertising effectiveness.

A national newsprint advertiser utilizes Teambase to manage multiple market versions with various ad sizes, product promotions, and pricing requirements for delivery to over 70 newspapers weekly. Page Templates and Ad Modules containing art, product copy, and placeholders for dynamic pricing are designed in Teambase and approved in advance.  As the deadline approaches, the product and pricing updates are imported directly from the advertisers merchandise control system and the various market versions are built automatically.  Teambase’s unique combination of centralized content control and approval, automated page assembly, and dynamic pricing ensures accuracy and consistent brand recognition across local and regional markets.

A manufacturer of thousands of diverse consumer products employs Teambase as its Product Information Repository.  The entire product life-cycle is managed from the initial inception and collaboration to the delivery of product information to the manufacturer’s web-based product catalog and its retail partners.
