Publication

Struct PIM Publications bridges the gap between your data and your audience. Effortlessly generate dynamic catalogs, spreadsheets, and PowerPoints directly from your PIM.

If you're managing a massive catalog of products and feeling the "copy-paste fatigue" of trying to get that data into catalogs, price lists, or spec sheets, Struct PIM Publications is essentially your digital escape hatch.

In a nutshell, it’s a specialized module within the Struct PIM (Product Information Management) ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between your raw product data and ready-to-print (or digital) marketing materials.

What you can do with Publications

• Organize and automate your product data for high-quality print and digital documents.

• Build a structured Publication Tree to arrange products into chapters, sections, and pages, ensuring a logical flow for catalogs or price lists.

• Sync data directly to Adobe InDesign via specialized connectors to eliminate manual copy-pasting and layout errors.

• Generate on-demand PDFs or data sheets that stay updated with the latest PIM attributes, images, and pricing.

• Create targeted versions of your publications for different languages, regions, or customer segments using the same master product data.

• Generate editable PowerPoint presentations instantly, allowing sales teams to create custom pitch decks with live product data, specs, and imagery.

• Build format-specific commerce feeds (JSON, XML, CSV and XLSX) that serve snapshots of your data, perfectly tailored to feed your commerce website.
