INBETWEEN PRODUCT

How InBetween Automates Product Publishing

InBetween connects to existing product data sources, applies publication templates and business rules, then generates ready-to-use documents for print and digital channels. The result is a controlled publishing process instead of repeated manual layout work.

Input: product data, assets and prices from PIM, ERP, DAM, Excel or APIs.
Automation: templates, layout rules, languages, currencies and optional Adobe InDesign finishing.
Output: catalogs, price lists, datasheets, brochures and market-specific sales materials.

Catalogs

Structured product catalogs generated from current product data for specific assortments, markets and brands.

Price Lists

Price and assortment documents that can reflect source data changes without manual copy-paste.

Datasheets

Technical product sheets based on controlled attributes, images, specifications and translations.

Marketing Materials

Sales folders, flyers, PDFs and localized materials for digital and print channels.

WHY

Is Manual Product Publishing Slowing Down Your Commercial Teams?

Catalogs Still Depend on Manual Copy-Paste

Product data, images, prices and technical specifications are copied between PIM, ERP, spreadsheets, design files and approval documents. Every manual transfer adds time, cost and risk of inconsistency.

Every Market Version Reopens the Same Work

Language variants, currencies, country-specific assortments, customer segments and brand versions require repeated layout changes. What should be scalable product communication becomes a new production project every time.

Publishing Teams Get Stuck in Correction Loops

Marketing, product management, sales teams and agencies spend weeks exchanging proofs, comments and corrections. High-value specialists end up checking layouts and data instead of improving product experience.

Documents Can Be Outdated Before They Go Live

When source data changes after a catalog, datasheet or brochure has already entered production, teams need to find and correct every affected layout manually. That makes accuracy hard to prove and time-to-market hard to control.

OUR METHOD

Turn Product Data into Market-Ready Publications

We connect source systems, define publication logic and automate output generation without losing control over layout, localization, approvals or brand consistency.

01

Connect Your Product Data Sources

We integrate InBetween with the systems that already hold your product data – PIM, ERP, DAM, Excel, APIs and digital commerce platforms. Publications are generated from current, approved source data instead of manually maintained copies.

02

Define Templates and Automation Level

We map dynamic fields, layout rules, product selections and localization logic into reusable templates. InBetween can support fully automated generation, partially automated workflows, and Adobe InDesign finishing when creative control is required.

03

Publish, Localize and Scale

Generate catalogs, datasheets, price lists, brochures and other materials for print and digital channels. Country versions, language variants and market-specific assortments can be produced faster, with better control over data accuracy and corporate design.

IMPLEMENTATION AND INTEGRATION SERVICES

From InBetween Setup to Production Publishing Workflows

Assessment Icon

Publishing Process Assessment

We review your current catalog, datasheet and brochure production process: document types, source systems, product data ownership, language variants, approval loops, agency dependencies and recurring bottlenecks. Output: a realistic automation roadmap.

Integration Icon

PIM, ERP, DAM and Commerce Integration

We connect InBetween to the systems that provide product attributes, pricing, images, technical specifications, translations and channel logic. Data can flow from one or several sources, depending on your enterprise architecture.

Template Icon

Template, Layout and Data Mapping

We translate publication requirements into reusable templates, mapped dynamic fields, layout rules and product selection logic. The goal is simple: accurate, on-brand output without rebuilding the same pages by hand.

Workflow Icon

Workflow, Roles and Approval Design

We configure publishing workflows around real teams: marketing, product management, local markets, sales and external agencies. Review, annotation, approval and exception handling are designed into the process rather than handled by email chains.

Automation Icon

Automated Generation and Localization

We help generate market-ready documents for different countries, product ranges, brands, formats and languages. Updates in source data can be reflected in publications without restarting the entire production cycle.

Enablement Icon

Go-Live, Training and Continuous Improvement

We support rollout, user enablement and operating model handover so publishing teams can run InBetween confidently. After go-live, we help refine templates, integrations and KPIs as new markets, languages and document types are added.

OUR STEPS

A Clear Path to Automated Product Publishing

Publishing Process Assessment
We map how your teams create catalogs, datasheets, price lists and brochures today: source systems, data owners, market variants, agencies, approval steps and recurring correction loops.
Outcome:
A scoped automation roadmap that shows which document types should be automated first, where integration is required, and which manual work can be removed.
Source Data and Integration Design
We design the data flow between InBetween and your PIM, ERP, DAM, Excel files, APIs and commerce systems, including product attributes, prices, assets, translations and market-specific rules.
Outcome:
A publishing architecture that uses accurate, current product data instead of disconnected copies across layouts and spreadsheets.
Template and Automation Build
We configure reusable templates, mapped dynamic fields, layout behavior, product selection rules and the right automation level: fully automated, partially automated or combined with Adobe InDesign finishing.
Outcome:
Production-ready templates for priority materials such as catalogs, datasheets, brochures, sales folders and price lists.
Workflow, Localization and Validation
We configure review paths, country variants, languages, currencies and approval logic, then validate generated outputs against business requirements, source data and corporate design standards.
Outcome:
Brand-compliant and data-accurate publications that can be accepted by marketing, product management and local market teams before rollout.
Production Rollout and Enablement
We launch InBetween into real publishing operations, train users, document ownership and support the first production cycles as teams move away from manual layout work.
Outcome:
A scalable publishing process with lower manual effort, shorter time-to-market and better control over product data consistency.
