Haberkorn Ulmer Catalogmanager
08 / 2006
A new tool for managing the online catalogs of the Haberkorn Ulmer Online Shop was developed in August 2006. Up to then the catalogs were managed with the Online Shop Manager - a browser based management
tool.
The
main advantage of the new tool is the possibility to import the catalog data simply and fast. Some parts could already be imported in the Online Shop Manager - but chapters, references and article numbers were however still entered by hand.
Particularly the up to 7000 items of a catalog were very hard to input manually.
Now what took one ore more weeks of work for a Haberkorn Ulmer employee can be achieved in scarcely five minutes.
The expenditure of time for this application was approx. 60 hours. A small investment compared with the expenditure of time so far for entering the catalog data manually.
