It’s a simple and affordable way to design digital publications that tell an in-depth story about our products, and to deliver the level of detailed information needed by our customers.
Boston (PRWEB) July 01, 2014
Igus, Inc., the North American subsidiary of a German-based global manufacturer, makes plastic cable carriers, continuous-flex cables, bearings and other plastic parts. The industry is complex and the products are seemingly endless, which makes it difficult and costly to disseminate updated information to buyers.
That’s why igus sought a digital publishing platform that would improve upon its previous use of a disparate collection of static PDFs on the company website. Igus selected the Publicator platform from Zmags, and is using it to build a 324-page interactive web catalog that will feature animations and other rich media features – not to mention well over 1,000 links to products.
“We needed a mobile and tablet-friendly solution that would allow readers to interact with our materials,” explains Ellen Rathburn of igus, Inc. “We love how easy Zmags is to use and, as well as to link data, photos and other information. It’s a simple and affordable way to design digital publications that tell an in-depth story about our products, and to deliver the level of detailed information needed by our customers.”
Igus also chose Publicator for its superior customizability. For example, of the digital publishing solutions igus considered, Publicator offered the most extensive search capabilities, making it easy to create a drop-down menu that lets users search anywhere in the catalog.
Igus will distribute its digital catalogs to customers and prospects through email, the company website and social media channels. Built in HTML5, the catalogs will deliver a consistent experience across channels and platforms—a critical component of the company’s distribution strategy. The digital catalogs will replace physical counterparts whenever possible, saving time, printing costs and shipping costs, and enabling faster and easier updates.
