The client

Based in Adelaide, Lightforce manufactures portable professional lighting systems as well as driving lights, rifle-scope optics and lighting accessories.

The challenge

  • The existing catalogue was produced manually in InDesign.
  • Multiple versions in different currencies had to created separately.
  • The parts index had to be created manually with cross references checked manually.

The solution

Working with the Lightforce team, Catalog Automation devised a solution comprising simple EasyCatalog libraries and a data panel sourcing data from an existing business spreadsheet.

The benefits

  • A typical catalogue can now be run out in minutes.
  • Pricing updates can be directly updated on the finished catalogue page.
  • The catalogue index can be created automatically using existing data.
