Our reps carry Catalogace catalogs on tablets now instead of the ring binder. Ordering straight off the page is the part that actually changed how a sales call runs. Binder's in a cupboard somewhere.

ok so i avoided making a wholesale catalog for like a full year because it sounded miserable. Catalogace took me one evening. dragged things around, exported, sent it. genuinely annoyed at myself for putting it off
Not expected the glitches i face in this app. 404 error in the cataloge page is very frustrating.
Long-winded, sorry. We're a three-person operation selling stationery into independent bookshops, and for six years our "line sheet" was a Word document I updated by hand and inevitably got wrong. Prices from last spring would survive into autumn. A buyer would order at a price we no longer honoured and then we'd have an awkward phone call. CatalogAce killed that whole problem because the sheet is built off the store, so when I change a price in one place it's changed. The order-from-the-catalog thing I thought was a gimmick. It is not a gimmick. Half our winter orders came in that way.
not really a review writer but CatalogaAce got one out of me. saved me hiring a designer every single season.
Two months in on CatalogAce now. It pulls my variant pricing across correctly, which is more than the last two things I tried managed. The QR codes on each page have earned their keep at trade shows, buyers scan and put an order in while they're still standing at the booth.
CatalogAce does what it says on the tin. Catalog took an afternoon instead of a fortnight. No complaints from me.
Reorders from existing stockists went up noticeably once buyers had something they could actually browse instead of a bare spreadsheet. Barcodes on the line sheet help our warehouse pull orders faster, thats been a quiet win. Two gaps for us: no second language option, and our printer complained about the bleed settings on the export.
I build stores for clients and normally i get pinged every time a price changes. Handed this over and they update the thing themselves now. Dropping it straight onto a store page was painless too.
Bit of context, we carry about 900 skus so i assumed the import would choke. It didnt, variants and sizes all came through in the right order and i only fixed maybe six of them. Sorting by colection meant i could split the mens and womens books without building two seperate things from scratch. Also handing a rep a link beats emailing a 40mb attachment. Big files load slow in the editor though.
Twenty years we mailed paper price lists. Grandson showed me this. Same job, done in an hour, and i can send it by email now. Thats progress i suppose.
Sent my first pricelist to 60 stores in one afternon. worth it for that alone
I manage ops for a small apparel label and we put out four seasonal books a year, so this got tested properly. Dragging blocks around is fast once you stop fighting it. Old seasons stay in the cloud so nobody hunts through Drive anymore. Tax rules per region saved my accountant a headache. The tracking showing who opened what is the part i didnt expect to like. Bulk editing descriptions would help, and let us duplicate a book.
Took the printed version to a trade show in march. Nobody could tell it wasnt done by a designer. The qr codes on each page actually scanned first try which i half expected to fail.
I paid for the Pro plan expecting professional results. Instead I got a basic exporter with constant sync errors
Our buyers used to email me spreadsheets and i would retype everything into Word like an animal. Now the products come across from the store already priced, and my wholesale tiers show the right numbers for each account. Buyers place orders in the file itself which still feels strange to me. More template choices would help.
Overall a good fit for what I needed. I like that I can rearrange the product order and bend the layout to match how my brand looks. Couple of things would make it better, a cheaper entry tier for tiny shops like mine, and the ability to make edits from my phone when Im away from the desk
I needed something that didnt look amateur. Bringing my whole product list over was one click, no fiddling. The finished catalog looks polished enough to put in front of galleries. If it could plug into my email newsletter tool that would be the cherry on top
Run a small apparel label and line sheets used to eat my whole week. Now they live in the cloud ready whenever a stockist asks and I just pull the latest one and send it over
