Catalog change control for manufacturers & distributors

Stop bad supplier updates before they reach your customers.

ProductCatalogs.ai reviews every supplier spreadsheet and PDF, warns you about dangerous product and pricing changes, and requires approval before updating your catalogs.

Supplier sends a file → we find dangerous changes → your team approves what is safe → every catalog and feed updates from that approved version.

No payment card required. Start with one supplier file and see the risks before anything changes.

A safer update process

From supplier file to safe catalog update in five steps.

Your team can see what changed, understand the risk, and approve the next version without rebuilding the catalog by hand.

01

Collect the supplier file

Bring in a CSV, Excel spreadsheet, or supplier PDF and keep the source attached to the update.

02

Map the supplier’s fields

Match unfamiliar columns and remember the mapping so the next update takes less work.

03

Catch dangerous changes

Flag price jumps, below-cost sales, low margins, missing products, removals, and uncertain data with source evidence.

04

Approve the exact version

Approve, reject, or document individual changes. The current catalog stays untouched until your team decides.

05

Update every output

Create the next approved version and use it for web catalogs, PDFs, exports, connected systems, and machine-readable feeds.

Evidence, not a black box

Know exactly why every change is safe—or dangerous.

Every warning points back to the supplier file, row, value, and approved catalog it was compared against. AI organizes the work; your team makes the decision.

  • Approve safe changes without accepting the whole file
  • Preserve rejected prices and products
  • Keep the previous approved version untouched

The complete platform

Manage every supplier update, approval, and catalog release in one place.

Supplier intake

Keep supplier files in one review queue

Connect each spreadsheet or PDF to the proposed changes it created instead of chasing files across inboxes.

Margin protection

See expensive mistakes before customers do

Surface below-cost prices, margin risks, unusual increases, possible removals, and low-confidence changes before approval.

Team control

Give every decision a responsible owner

Separate administrators, approvers, editors, and viewers while preserving notes and a complete activity trail.

Version safety

Keep every edition recoverable

Compare versions and roll back without erasing what happened or who approved it.

Controlled publishing

Release the exact version you approved

Use one approved version for web catalogs, downloadable PDFs, CSV exports, and protected machine feeds.

AI commerce

Make product information understandable to machines

Score data completeness and create structured, version-locked feeds for search engines and AI shopping systems.

Supplier-email intake, signed API delivery, and scheduled releases require production integration setup before use.

Approved once. Current everywhere.

Keep every catalog, PDF, export, and product feed on the same approved version.

The PDF, web catalog, export, API, and machine-readable feed no longer have to quietly disagree.

Web catalogs & PDFs

Customer-ready editions from approved data.

ERP & commerce exports

CSV and protected API delivery for connected systems.

AI-ready product feeds

Structured product data with clear readiness scoring.

Business impact reporting

Track review speed, risks caught, and publishing reliability.
