That is why many companies pair the printable PDF with an online version that is always aligned with the data. If you also need online selling, see the page on e-commerce.


Same data, two formats
The choice between a printable or online price list depends on how your customers work. An automatic system starts from a single data source and produces both the PDF to print and the version you can consult on the website, so the two formats never contradict each other. We set it up in Cantù, in the province of Como, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
What to consider
A few questions help decide which format to prioritise.
Paper, screen or both?
Tell us how your customers work, between Como, Milan and Lugano: we will propose the solution.
To manage several price list versions in the same year, each edition needs a visible date and identifier, an archive of previous ones and a single place to download the current one. In Cantù we build systems that generate documents from the same data, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
The validity of a price list is stated with an issue date, a reference to the period or condition in which the prices apply and a link to the current version. The wording should be agreed with your adviser; NewVisibility, in Cantù, inserts it uniformly for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
To lighten an image-rich PDF price list, photos are optimised before insertion, adapting size and compression to the use, and only useful images are included. In Cantù, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, we produce the photos in-house and prepare a light version for sending and one for print.
To generate price lists with discounts by customer category, the system associates each category with the terms already in the ERP. The terms remain the responsibility of your administration office; we automate their application, from Cantù, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
Price lists in different currencies are managed by linking each market to its currency and price, which comes from the company system with no manual conversion. For companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano that sell across borders, exchange rates and tax rules should be checked with your own accountant.
