See How Connected Data Can Reduce Manual Design Updates
A revised price, description or image can send your team back through layouts, language versions and approvals. That leaves less time for design and more chances for outdated information to reach the final material.
Watch Factory and Pimcore explain where that extra work begins and how to reduce it. See the Pimcore to Adobe InDesign integration in action with the team who built it, and assess how connected product data could help your designers handle changes without giving up control of the layout.
Whether you produce catalogs, brochures, packaging or technical product sheets, take away a clearer understanding of where your workflow needs to change before the next deadline.

What causes catalog production delays?
When product information, design files and approvals are managed separately, teams spend time finding approved content, copying it into layouts and checking which versions need updating. Each additional market, language or format adds more files to review and more opportunities to miss a change.
Connecting product data with the publishing process reduces manual copying and makes updates easier to manage. Designers can work with linked content in InDesign while retaining control over the layout. For documents with a consistent structure, automated PDF generation offers another approach.
