In a context where speed and accuracy in delivering product information are now essential, the production of marketing and sales materials remains a challenge.
Between multiple data sources, manual validations and multichannel constraints, turning product data into a catalog or a product sheet can quickly become a headache.
What if the solution wasn’t about multiplying tools, but about connecting them better?
An interoperable ecosystem for automated product catalog publishing
At J2S, we are convinced that the value of product data is fully revealed when it automatically powers communication materials, whether digital or print.
This is the objective of automated publishing: connecting your information systems (MDM, PIM, DAM…) to a graphic production environment to rapidly generate reliable, consistent and brand-compliant documents.
Our collaboration with
MaPS System
, provider of MDM, PIM and DAM solutions, is fully aligned with this approach. Their modular, interoperable platform combines MDM (Master Data Management), PIM (Product Information Management) and DAM (Digital Asset Management) to ensure efficient governance of reference data, product information and media.
From product data to finished material: a simplified process
The combination of MaPS System and J2S allows companies to control the entire editorial process, from source data to final layout.
1. Structuring and securing the data
With MaPS System, product information and media are centralized, enriched and validated.
The PIM harmonizes product information across channels, the DAM orchestrates the management of visuals and multimedia content, linked or not to products, and the MDM unifies everything around reference data.
2. Automating layout and distribution
Simple Workspace
, the J2S production platform, retrieves this structured data to automatically and collaboratively generate publications:
- product catalogs,
- product sheets and technical sheets,
- POS and in-store signage,
- labels or promotional materials,
- collection plans.
Document templates comply with brand guidelines and can be adjusted at any time in Adobe InDesign, ensuring the best of both worlds: automation and creativity.
3. Publishing across all channels
Automated publishing is not limited to print: data and visuals can be exported to digital formats (interactive PDFs, online catalogs, web exports, etc.), ensuring consistent communication across all touchpoints.
