How to generate FAB-DIS

The possibilities with the FAB-DIS software CatalogExpress are limitless. The process of generating FAB-DIS standards through CatalogExpress always remains the same:

Access your product data

You import product data manually or automatically from your source systems or files. You can also consolidate data (e.g., prices, assortments) from various sources. CatalogExpress automatically combines your data, eliminating the need for additional storage.

Select a target format

Choose FAB-DIS with ETIM classification or several other formats and structures. Building a custom structure is also possible.

Map the data to the FAB-DIS target structure

With CatalogExpress functions, automatic and semi-automatic mapping can be performed. Over 70 functions assist in transforming data and generating new attributes and values.

Define an assortment

Assign specific assortments for each customer, wholesaler, or portal. If assortments aren't static, they can be redefined with each catalog generation.

Validate the FAB-DIS standard

You have the option to validate the FAB-DIS standard using an XSD file. Choose to use a standard XSD or validate against a custom schema.

Distribute / provide the FAB-DIS standard

Manually download the FAB-DIS standard, provide it on a schedule, or send it via email. If a customer provides SFTP server access (e.g., Mercateo), store the credentials in CatalogExpress. CatalogExpress handles distribution automatically.

After the one-time mapping, your data provision can run fully or partially automated. Manual import/export is also possible. Additional mapping is not required, so profiles can be copied and adjusted for other customers.

The degree of automation depends on your requirements. If you process small amounts of data infrequently or if data changes little, manual import/export is sufficient. For large or constantly changing data or many customers, consider automation.

CatalogExpress then converts the relevant data into the FAB-DIS format.
