Catalog Management with InDesign Automation for P21 Users

Manual Catalogs Create Errors. Automation Prevents Them.

Your product data lives in Prophet 21. Your catalogs don't.
Most distributors still rely on spreadsheets, design files, and manual updates to create catalogs. This leads to:

40–80 hours spent on every major catalog update
Pricing and product errors reaching customers
Valuable staff time lost to manual data entry
Outdated catalogs before they're even distributed

B2Sell Catalog Automation connects directly to P21 and automatically updates your catalogs with the latest product data, pricing, inventory, and images.

When P21 updates, your catalog updates.
