Five points of comparison
This is where the two approaches really part ways.
When manual makes sense
A single, rarely modified document can be laid out by hand without problems. When products are many or the data changes often, automation avoids overlapping versions. If you want to understand how it connects to your ERP, read the page on ERP, CRM and PIM integration.
For automatic price list generation in a company between Milan and Lugano you need a partner who can connect ERP and PIM, define the documents and maintain the system. NewVisibility, a Cantù web agency with an in-house team, an enterprise CMS and our own managed servers, covers the whole process.
Price list automation pays off most for companies with many products and variants, frequently changing data, sales networks or resellers and different markets, including between Como, Milan and Lugano. With small catalogues the benefit may be smaller: we assess it case by case.
From your product data you can generate product documents such as price lists, technical sheets and catalogues, consistent with each other because they come from the same source. From Cantù we build them for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, with no manual layout.
A company price list should contain the product code, name and family, a short description, price with sales unit, commercial terms and validity. For companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, NewVisibility generates these fields from ERP data, so every row stays consistent.
To notify customers when a price list changes, you use a direct channel, such as an email or newsletter, that points to the updated document on the website. For the Brianza companies we support from Cantù, it is best to send a link rather than an attachment: the price list stays in a single place.
