Catalog Control
Quick and easy administration of e-catalogs
Tellis® Catalog Control
Tellis® Catalog Control makes managing e-catalogs simple by using intuitive catalog rules, placing only minimal demands on the catalogs you receive.
This ensures suppliers stick closely to the agreed terms for e-catalogs. Requirements can be tailored individually for each supplier, acknowledging that not all suppliers are alike.
Spend less time managing data and more time creating real value through smarter procurement decisions.
Boost your
bottom line
When products in the shopping basket are covered by existing agreements, this delivers a direct financial benefit. It also helps ensure that purchases meet the organisation’s requirements for quality and sustainability.
By purchasing agreed products, you also support the organisation’s overall objectives and policies for quality and sustainable procurement.
You save time and resources too. Online purchasing is far more efficient than ordering by email, over the phone or in a physical shop. The less time you spend purchasing, the more time you have for your core responsibilities.
Supplier management
Supplier management can be complicated and often demands substantial resources, especially when dealing with fragmented data, inconsistent standards, and lengthy coordination processes. But effective supplier management is essential for successful catalog control.
Tellis® helps simplify this complexity by centralising supplier data, standardising product and service information, and ensuring purchases always come from approved suppliers.
This approach streamlines procurement, improves compliance, enhances supplier collaboration, and provides clear visibility throughout your supply chain. When supplier relationships are structured and controlled, purchasing naturally becomes smarter and more strategic.
Proper management means sourcing the contracted goods from the right supplier, an essential step in maintaining trust with suppliers.
Replacement products that keep purchasing moving
When a product is discontinued, the user should not reach a dead end. Tellis® Catalog Control lets you guide users towards relevant replacement products, including alternatives from other catalogues, so they can quickly continue their purchase with a suitable option.
Replacement products can be maintained individually or in bulk, making the functionality suitable for both minor changes and larger catalogue updates. This reduces unnecessary interruptions, makes the assortment easier to work with and helps users find the right product when the need arises.
You decide which products should be linked. This gives users a smoother purchasing experience without sacrificing control over the assortment.
And we’re just getting started with
what Catalog Control can do …
Sustainability
labels
Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have, it has become central to how organisations build trust, meet regulations, and create long term value.
The Catalog Control module supports this shift by embedding sustainability labels directly into your product data. Buyers get instant clarity on which products meet environmental and ethical standards, right where they are already looking.
With sustainability made visible and simple to act on, procurement teams can gently steer choices toward greener options without adding any extra steps or complexity.
Fast
publishing
Catalog Control lets you control whether catalogue changes require manual review, approval or automatic publication. New products, updates and discontinued items can follow predefined rules, helping the procurement team spend less time on repetitive tasks while retaining control.
Publishing and unpublishing can be scheduled in advance for individual products or entire catalogues. This makes it easier to implement changes at the right time and keep the assortment up to date within the relevant contract periods. When requirements change, the schedule can be adjusted or the change can be implemented immediately.
Rules can be tailored both across the organisation and for individual catalogues. This creates a more consistent and efficient workflow while allowing specific catalogues to be managed according to their own requirements.
Automated
compliance
Catalog Control automatically checks product data against rules defined by the organisation. Requirements for elements such as images, keywords and approved products can be applied across catalogues or tailored to an individual catalogue.
Products that do not meet the requirements can be withheld before they become visible to users. This creates more consistent catalogues, reduces manual checks and provides greater control over what can be purchased. Once the rules are configured, the automation works quietly in the background, freeing up time for more strategic procurement tasks.
Stability
and trust
Effective procurement depends on stable and reliable catalogue data. Catalog Control helps maintain data quality over time, even as suppliers, products and information change.
Built-in validations, clear ownership and full traceability make the catalogue a reliable foundation for both day-to-day administration and strategic decision-making.
Catalogue managers can collect documents, notes and previous filter lists within each catalogue. This provides easy access to relevant documentation and history directly within the workflow where the information is needed.
