Built around the concept of Print-on-Demand publishing, the Publisher will dramatically reduce time-to-market for the entire catalog production process.

With iCat Publisher, full-line paper catalogs are generated directly from the parts database, either by vehicle, product type or product line. These catalogs can also be published electronically, whether to Word, PDF or Postscript files, and distributed in a variety of ways.

iCat Publisher treats catalogs as a series of chapters, that contain a series of sections. Each section is a combination of visual style template and product information. When a catalog is produced, iCat combines the template and product information into the final catalog document.
