Function Overview

Localization

During media production, market-specific identifiers such as country-, industry- or target group-specific aspects are evaluated. Country-specific localization allows the placement of country-specific images and texts or the management of country- and market-specific article numbers. Each language-country combination can be assigned a specific dictionary for hyphenation in InDesign. The number formatting can be defined country-specifically and numbers can be converted automatically using formulas.

Market-specific product ranges

The range is the basis for every medium and every sales channel and differs depending on the market. The catalog structure can be maintained globally and adapted locally. Assortments can be managed on a market-specific basis for each medium, country and customer. Assortment creation is optimally supported by mass processing functions. Alternatively, assortments can also be imported and transferred from the ERP system.

Market-specific price lists

Price lists are often imported from the ERP system that differ in terms of currency, validity and market. A market can be a country or just a single customer. Price lists can contain any price data up to quantity-dependent graduated prices.
