CatalogTeam is a fit when you maintain a product list in Excel or CSV, buyers need to find exact articles, and your team wants a structured request before agreeing a sale. Start with the catalog and request workflow; check Advanced B2B and integration requirements separately.
A useful fit when…
Your team can maintain the source data and wants managers to stay involved in the sale.
- Your assortment has stable article codes, product names and defined units.
- Buyers need to select several articles and quantities in one request.
- A manager must confirm suitability, availability and commercial terms.
Check these requirements first
If you need automatic checkout, payment for goods, guaranteed live stock, reservation or a specific ERP business workflow, confirm the exact capability before choosing. The Simple Catalog flow does not provide those transaction guarantees.
What about prices and integrations?
Advanced B2B includes capabilities such as managed buyer access and configured customer-specific prices. External ERP capabilities require supported, configured and verified integration. Discuss your company’s data, buyer roles and required workflow before treating a connector as ready.
Make a concrete starting decision
Bring an example of your file structure, your expected buyer journey and the process for handling requests. Review the current subscription and setup fees. The 14-day trial starts after publication with active products and requires no card.
Choose the approach that matches the job
These are workflow choices, not claims about a particular competing product. Check the actual features and costs of any service you compare.
Keep the spreadsheet or PDF
A reasonable starting point when a small, stable assortment is easy for buyers and your team to manage manually.
Your team still collects article codes and quantities and clarifies each request through its existing channels.
Use a searchable B2B catalog
A fit when you want buyers to find exact articles and submit a structured list while managers keep control of the commercial conversation.
CatalogTeam starts with reviewed Excel/CSV data. Configured buyer access and customer-specific prices belong to the relevant plan and company setup.
Evaluate a transactional commerce portal
Consider this route when automatic checkout, live stock reservation or an end-to-end ERP workflow is a central requirement.
Confirm each integration and transaction requirement separately. A CatalogTeam Simple Catalog request does not collect payment, reserve stock or send an order to an ERP.
Practical questions
Is CatalogTeam a marketplace?
The product is a catalog and request workflow for your company’s assortment and buyers. It does not promise a marketplace audience or a supply of new customers.
Is an ERP required to start?
No. Native catalog, search and purchase requests can work from reviewed Excel or CSV data without an ERP integration.
How do I compare it with other approaches?
Compare the job you need to do: share a file, collect structured requests or complete automated transactions. Check actual capabilities, setup work and total costs for your own scenario.
