3. Automate
Your digital catalog, while time-consuming to create, is generating traffic and clicks. Now what?
Whatever the publication cycle and process for your digital catalog, automation can save you time, money and manpower involved in creating, uploading publishing it.
But the process of creating such a digital catalog enriched with videos, animations, shop links and icons can be very labor- and time-intensive.
But the process of creating such a digital catalog enriched with videos, animations, shop links and icons can be very labor- and time-intensive.
What if all that work could be done automatically?
Why not automate?
Imagine manually creating shop links for a digital catalog with 30 pages and 10 products per page. That’s 300 products in total. Typically, it takes 2 minutes to create a shop link manually. That equals 600 minutes (10 hours).
Your team’s time could be used better on other, more creative and value-adding tasks.
Luckily, there is a faster way of creating enrichments:
By combining simple PDF tagging with Enrichment Automation — which we build specifically tailored to your needs — you can reduce those hours of work to a single click and a few minutes.
With Enrichment Automation, you can save time, resources, and money.

The result?

FTP Monitor watches over a folder you’ve specified, for any new files. When a new PDF is dropped into it, iPaper will automatically use it and create a digital catalog, or update an existing one. Combined with Enrichment Automation, iPaper creates and updates your enrichments.
Using an FTP Monitor comes with the benefits of allowing multiple users (for example, if you use an in-house designer, or an external agency) to update, or create your digital catalogs without accessing iPaper.
Alternatively, your print system can automatically move updated PDF files into the monitored folder.
The result?
You can go from PDF to fully enriched digital catalog without ever accessing the iPaper admin.
