DCatalog

A Perfect Fit for Magazines and Catalogs

Commenti: We were looking specifically for a way to publish a digital magazine on our website that included shopping cart functionality. DCatalog's shopping cart connects to our website's eCommerce platform via API, and thus allows readers to shop throughout the magazine, adding items to their cart along the way, and then check out through our normal website experience for order completion. We simply create product links using the DCatalog page editing tools, and product images then become clickable with a popup modal showing pricing, size selection, available colors/flavors, etc. DCatalog works exactly as we had hoped!

Aspetti positivi:

The admin dashboard is a pleasure to use, which features analytics (both built-in overviews and detailed Google Analytics integration), document upload and edition management features, as well as basic page editing features. The workflow of allowing designers to create PDFs using their software of choice (e.g., Adobe InDesign), and then handing them off to another team for upload to DCatalog, adding links and publication on the website is a perfect fit for us. Another feature we've really come to love is the ability to replace individual pages on a whim, such that typos can easily be fixed, as well as time-sensitive promotions removed after expiration, etc. This allows our magazine editions to remain evergreen and easily maintainable.

Aspetti negativi:

One minor annoyance I've observed is when I've tried using the provided link-building tools for creating circular links. The drawing tool provided is polygonal only–there is currently no ellipse tool–so circles have to be drawn using a series of straight lines, so they end up looking like octagons instead of perfect circles. If DCatalog were to provide an ellipse tool (similar to Adobe Illustrator and others) in addition to the polygonal tool, my only compliant would vanish!

DCatalog is AmaZing!!!

Commenti: Our overall experience has been very good. We are very pleased with DCatalog and will continue to use their services. The customer service staff, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], has always been helpful and kind. She is knowledgeable and friendly and the 1st year her and some of the other support staff went out of their way to assist us when we were new to the digital game and didn't even have our magazine formatted properly for digital. Through the work of the graphic designers we use and the DCatalog team we made it work and we were so grateful. After that it has always been smooth sailing with DCatalog and we are sticking around!

Aspetti positivi:

The fabulous quality of the product. We publish a digital version of our full color 74 page magazine annually and the graphics quality is incredible. Also, the ease of use of the final product is wonderful. With several choices on how to navigate around the magazine's pages, DCatalog has made the digital version of the magazine very popular with our clientele. They can jump straight to our schedule of events or go back to something they just read with ease. We love DCatalog!!

Aspetti negativi:

Ummm...I don't have much input here. Truly the DCatalog platform is very well put together and user friendly. If I had to say anything about what to improve then I would suggest maybe adding some additional tutorials for new users. The first year I uploaded the digital magazine, I had to figure out what I was doing. It took a little time but was not overly difficult. With that being said, maybe just some more obvious "Hey Newbie...over here" type tutorials for those that are brand new to DCatalog. Honestly, once you're using it for a while it's pretty easy.

The D Catalog team looks at the big picture for each company without sacrificing the details. Their team has built a Recolor Catalog for my company that has increased lead retrieval and relieved a strain on our custom design department.

Aspetti negativi:

You can experience sticker shock, but the ROI is exponential!

Great Product & Company

Commenti: We were working with another provider of a similar software, however, they were not responsive. We switched to DCatalog because from day 1, we had someone we could call directly here in the US. The staff a DCatalog have also listened to our needs and delivered on features.

Aspetti positivi:

We purchased this product because they have US based support team that is responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. Additionally the software is flexible and something we use for external and internal Customer publications due to it's flexibility.

Aspetti negativi:

We have several hundred publications which requires use to manage revisions, but that is the nature of what we do.

Excellent Product & Service

Commenti: DCatalog is great to work with, and we see a lot of benefits from utilizing their platform. The capabilities that DCatalog provides to our end users is extremely valuable.

Aspetti positivi:

The DCatalog team is exceptional at providing us with the software and capabilities that we need to serve our employees and customers. This software makes it easy for people to view, search, or download the content they are looking at. It also allows us to run automatic links to various URL's within the piece of content we are uploading. DCatalog is always open to our ideas, and work with us to implement those ideas into the platform. The customer service is excellent as well.

Aspetti negativi:

DCatalog is a great platform that we highly recommend.

best online epaperflip app to catalogue preparation

Commenti: it is an awesome experience, I found this app very useful for professional people to categorize and prepare the required catalogs based on their requirements. easy to set up and hassle-free software.

Aspetti positivi:

easy to organize and go front and back, easy editing, and even we can replace most stuff and customize the way we want it.

Aspetti negativi:

there is nothing but sometimes it confused me, preparing the catalog and then not showing up and then suddenly appeared. using this app first time is a little confusing but overall its a very nice to prepare a catalog.

Client Solutions

Commenti: Amazon. Our client representative Costas is among the best professional services team member. They are always willing to help us solve client problems. I cannot say enough about the DCatalog team.

Aspetti positivi:

We love this tool. It gives us a unique solution to offer our clients. This is much more than a digital version of your catalog. If you want/need a solution that takes your catalog to the next level, DCatalog is something you should invest in.

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing it has all the features for a robust solution.

Interactive Digital Catalog

Commenti: They have one of the best support staff I have ever worked with.

Aspetti positivi:

I have been using their software for over 2+ years. Easy to use, user friendly interfaces make the process easy for any one who manage their online catalog. Shopping directly from catalog is a must have feature for any B2B or B2C company if they have a digital catalog.

Aspetti negativi:

I can't think of anything critical. But you can always add more features...

Policy Manual

Aspetti positivi:

I like that it is very easy to work with from our employee website. We currently utilize DCatalog for our Americas Policy Manual and have zero complaints from the colleague end.

Aspetti negativi:

I find it difficult to make changes. It seems as if you need to know codes or there is a very unique way of making the changes to the policy manual which makes it difficult to change policies or benefits more frequently - even as much as a simple typo could go.

Great looking system on the front and back end

Commenti: DCatalog is always quick to answer our support questions. I don't have the long wait like we do with other vendors.

Aspetti positivi:

DCatalog makes our online homebuyer booklets look so professional. It makes it easy for the user to navigate through the book and do whatever they need to whether it's a straight download, using the interactive links or writing notes on the pages. We have it in Spanish and English so the user can choose which one they are most comfortable with very easily. On the back end we are able to add our own multi media, link the booklet to Google Analytics and track the usage of the different booklets.

Aspetti negativi:

On the back end you have to create all new templates for any version that is different from the original. It would have been nice to have the option to clone and edit a template, but that is really the only stumble we had.

Great user interface and customer service

Commenti: Provides engaging user experience. Support team is responsive.

Aspetti positivi:

Interface is easy to use and customize (loading documents, setting up customized templates, features to enhance user experience).

Aspetti negativi:

Initial cost is expensive, but can save money on printing.

SHAPE Minimum Standards App.

Commenti: Its been a positive journey that I expect to continue as we release a second version of the mobile application to our subcontractors.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use and does everything we wanted and needed it to do.

Aspetti negativi:

There are no cons to speak of - I highly recommend DCatalog for mobile applications.

Easy to use interface with professional results

Commenti: This product has allowed us to lessen the number of printed catalogs saving us time and money. We are also able to keep our catalog up-to-date allowing customers a current reference. We plan to incorporate the Shoppable Catalog feature to promote more sales though our digital catalog and website.

Aspetti positivi:

Having the ability to update files at any time.

Aspetti negativi:

We struggled through some growing pains but a lot of improvements have been implemented. We trust DCatalog will help grow our sales by incorporating some of their new features.

I was looking to cut costs and over use of paper and found DCatalog during my online research. Their digital format was perfect for our yearly biology course. The Elite package gives lots of features an d options for a great price. Making changes to your edition is lighting fast and in real time. We are able to incorporate our own logo and our customers love the digital books.

Aspetti negativi:

Right now we are happy with the product. I don't feel that we utilize all features that are available.

We love it!

Commenti: We were looking for a platform to turn our printed collateral (recruiting booklet, brochures, etc.) into a digital version that we could house on our website and distribute out to recruits and clients when needed. It is EXACTLY what we were looking for!

Aspetti positivi:

Its very easy to use from a viewers standpoint and administration. Its a great product for us in our marketing platforms and looks very professional.

Aspetti negativi:

I honestly don't have any complaints or cons about this software. It means all of our needs and is very easy to use on the administration side.

Review

Commenti: Overall, it's been a great program that we use. It's allowed us to cater to our older generation by allowing them to still "flip" through magazines while allowing our younger generation to still use technology.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the ability to link different parts of our magazine to different areas on our website. It keeps our older generation happy, while still allowing us to move forward technologically.

Aspetti negativi:

It doesn't seem to offer as many features on mobile as it does on desktop. We're increasingly moving towards a more mobile world.

Simple easy to use Flipbook with lots of useful time saving features & clean/professional interface

Commenti: DCatalog has helped us turn our static PDF into an interactive online experience with features that help our end user save mass amounts of time.

Aspetti positivi:

The amount of customization of the flip-book that is offered, the clean user interface, simplicity of use, and allowance of multiple users/roles.

Aspetti negativi:

Certain features could be improved I.e. automatic link generation. Would like to see functionality for multiple selection, grouping, evenly distribution of links on a page.

Quality e-brochures

Commenti: We have worked with them for over five years and they are constantly adding new features which I like.

Aspetti positivi:

The platform is very easy to use and the e-brochures work well on all devices. It also allows you to download a pdf which not something all e-brochures offer.

Aspetti negativi:

I am very happy with the software and customer service.
