Catsy

Stop chasing spreadsheets and email threads every time a retailer asks for new specs. In Catsy, you start by building a central hub for every SKU. Import products from CSV or connect your ERP, then assign attribute sets by category so each item has the right fields (dimensions, materials, compliance, country codes, variants). Define required fields and completeness rules so you can see what’s missing at a glance. Route items to the right teammates with tasks and approvals. Attach photos, videos, and PDFs from the built‑in asset library; Catsy creates web, print, and thumbnail renditions automatically, enforces naming rules, and tracks usage rights and expiration dates. Localize text and units per market, and lock critical details with role‑based permissions to prevent accidental edits.

When you’re ready to go live, pick your destinations—marketplaces, dealer portals, ecommerce platforms—and load a prebuilt profile for each partner. Use mapping helpers to align your attributes with every template’s field names. The validator flags length limits, required fields, formatting mismatches, and taxonomy gaps before you export. Preview how titles, bullets, and images will render, then schedule pushes so updates land overnight or at set intervals. Choose the delivery method that fits each channel: direct API, SFTP, or downloadable feeds. Catsy only sends changes, so large catalogs stay fast. Create channel‑specific tweaks (shorter names, alternate image orders, kit/bundle definitions) without touching the master record, and clone mappings to spin up a new partner in minutes.

For sales and support teams, publish a self‑serve catalog portal. Share a single link where users can search by attribute, filter by compatibility, compare items, and download product sheets or media packs. Generate short links or QR codes for packaging and trade show signage. Control who sees pricing, inventory indicators, or restricted documents, and let customers request quotes from curated lists. Because everything pulls from the same source, every page reflects the latest specs and assets without manual rework.

Keep operations tight with dashboards that track readiness by channel, error counts, and export status. Use saved views for quick audits (e.g., items missing lifecycle photos or safety data). Run bulk edits, set rules to auto‑populate fields from formulas, and trigger alerts when data drifts from partner guidelines. A typical weekly rhythm: onboard new SKUs, reach 100% completeness, validate against target profiles, schedule exports, monitor results, then review analytics to see which attributes or images correlate with higher conversions. Start with one or two channels, lock in your mappings, then scale to the rest using repeatable templates and approvals.
