How to streamline content production to efficiently produce media using KatanaPIM and J2S?

KatanaPIM

The partnership between J2S and KatanaPIM helps you make the most of your product content by automating the creation and content syndication across print and digital channels.

For every business, keeping up with all the product data is a challenge. We’re talking about content creation and syndication for channel-specific product listings (data, descriptions, expiration dates, ingredients, etc.), product labels, online and print catalogs, and product sheets for partners.

By integrating tools such as KatanaPIM and Simple Workspace ,, you can automate and streamline the creation and distribution of product content, and let the software do the hard work for you.

Simple Workspace is the production tool for marketing departments that need to produce diverse and ever-changing content, the output of which can be published or used by sales teams and partners.

In order to take full advantage of the power of publishing, it is essential to have a structured database of product information. This is where KatanaPIM comes in, working as a single source of truth for product information and helping you collect, enrich, validate and distribute the right data to the right channels.

The benefits of combining Simple Workspace and KatanaPIM

Centralization

A common problem is a need for qualitative data for a publishing project, usually triggered by the marketing department. Data centralization is a quick way to get a project off to a good start. Indeed, gathering and centralizing product information in the KatanaPIM platform is a quick solution to set up and allows complete quality control for each reference. The contribution of our two solutions is the possibility to keep this data centralized. Our common value lies in the fact that all product information is gathered on our platform. For this reason, it becomes easy to offer two solutions that allow you to enrich and control the data centrally so that it can be formatted without losing information. This centralization enables our customers to reduce the risk of errors and loss of information across different systems throughout the publishing process.

As a result, once the information has been provided or is present in KatanaPIM, the publication generation/correction process can begin to create any type of publication.

Greater productivity through collaborative work

KatanaPIM and Simple Workspace are collaboration tools that make it easy for your team members to work together. With features such as authorization rules and task assignments, you can optimize and streamline your internal workflow and increase the productivity and efficiency of your team! The two collaborative functions work together, allowing you to define entitlement rules ranging from data enrichment to document publication.

Optimized product content

Rich product content is the key to sales success! One of the goals of KatanaPIM is “to help teams find and work quickly on outdated, incomplete, or missing product data. With our tool, users can easily populate products with channel-required attributes, SEO-friendly content, translated descriptions, and multimedia assets.” By retrieving complete and updated information from KatanaPIM, Simple Workspace is the software that will then allow you to format your data before publishing it as needed (catalogs, product sheets, labels, POS…).

Using Simple Workspace in combination with KatanaPIM, users can generate pages and see the results almost immediately. Through our API connector, the user can make changes in the PIM that will appear in Simple Workspace in real-time. This allows you to see the layout of the data first and foremost, and to make last-minute changes without having to rework the design (e.g. changes in promotional prices).
