Case Study: GFR achieves automated, up-to-date catalog production from a single data source with OpusCapita PIM

All Catalogs From One Data Source Case Study for Automated Catalog Creation

GFR, a leading provider of building and energy management automation solutions, struggled with time‑consuming, error‑prone catalog production: product information came from many sources, desktop publishing was outsourced, and updates required manual intervention so catalogs were only published every one to two years. To centralize and streamline product data management, GFR selected OpusCapita’s Product Information Management (PIM) solution.

OpusCapita implemented PIM to import core product data from GFR’s ERP and drive a cross‑media publishing workflow (linked with OpusCapita CMP and priint:comet for automated InDesign output). The solution produced catalogs and datasheets from a single data source, automated layout, indexing and multi‑format output, accelerated and streamlined catalog creation, eliminated manual errors, improved cross‑location collaboration, and gave the sales team instant access to up‑to‑date product and price information — all delivered by OpusCapita.
