from a browser and are directly integrated into your desktop
publishing environment further reducing the time it takes
to gather them when they need to be included in a catalog,
which results in improved efficiency.
Alternate
Products, Kits and Accessories: With ONEsource
you can manage product kits, accessories and alternates. This
capability makes your content more organized and empowers
your sales reps to cross-sell and up-sell products. It also
enables the customer service reps to suggest alternate products
and serve customers better. This is part of Enterprise Edition
add-on module.
Product
Cross-References: With ONEsource you can manage
product cross-references that can be used in situations when
the primary product is either out-of-stock or if a better
product replaced the primary product. Managing this information
allows your sales reps and customer service reps to better
react in selling situations.
On Demand

custom catalogs for specific markets or for internal usage
on the fly. With this capability sales reps can create custom
catalogs for your customers anytime from anywhere from a browser.
