The iCat Suite is an integrated suite of tools developed to simplify processes for every aspect of parts management including traditional and electronic cataloging, customer support, mapping and sales. It includes fully customizable applications that all draw from a central parts information database.
By consolidating all product information, the iCat Enterprise Suite provides manufacturers with the ability to mix an unlimited number of incompatible data sources into one central, manageable data source. Offering a centralized point of control allows for the data to be shared across the entire organization. This optimizes a company’s resources, eliminates redundancy, provides increased agility, and streamlines the parts information environment for the highest performance. The result is a more powerful, flexible platform that ensures continuous and secure operations, and lowers the cost of managing change.
Every type of part information can be viewed, managed and published through iCat tools. Each module offers visual, easy-to-use screens for managing application, parametric, kits, engineering drawings, BOMs, PIES, supercessions, cross-reference, images and more with a consistent look and feel.
Because iCat Enterprise is modular, the suite can be scaled and customized to the client’s needs. We adjust the installation to fit the goals of the client, we do not adjust the clients goals to fit the software. By working closely with our design staff, your company will benefit from a system that meets immediate needs, but can be added to easily in the future.
The main modules of iCat consist of the iCat PartsManager, Publisher, Web Catalogs, Helpdesk, and CD/DVD electronic catalogs. Each component provides similar screens for staff to view part information. Every department is finally looking at the same data on the same screen. And with the addition of CD/DVD catalogs, so are the customers. The system can be accessed and used by staff in throughout the organization. There is no limit to the number of people who may access the iCat database simultaneously.
