Pagination turns your product data into multi-brand price books, spec sheets and product catalogs, generated automatically for every brand, market and language.
For bathware and sanitaryware manufacturers, one data source and one InDesign template produce print-ready PDF, packaged InDesign or editable Excel, without rebuilding price books by hand every time the PIM changes. This is catalog automation built for large, multi-brand product ranges.
A single InDesign template holds the layout, and Pagination applies each brand’s SKU format, spec tables and pricing conventions to it, so every brand’s price book comes out of the same workflow.
Export print-ready PDF, packaged InDesign or Excel, and keep each brand and market edition archived by date and revision, so past price books stay retrievable.
Bathware price books are large, technical and often span several brands: thousands of SKUs, each with dimensions, finishes, drawings and pricing, published across markets. Pagination is built for database publishing, where PIM data, brand rules and InDesign templates work together.
A bathware price book can run to thousands of SKUs, and a manufacturer with a house of brands has to publish each one with its own conventions. Even the SKU format can differ from brand to brand. Pagination generates every brand’s price book from one workflow, applying each brand’s rules to the same template rather than maintaining a separate file per brand.
The same product feeds a price book, a spec sheet and a catalog page, each showing different fields. Maintaining them separately is where dimensions and prices drift apart. Pagination drives all of them from one product record, so a change to a dimension or a price flows into every document.
Product attributes sit in the PIM and the images and drawings in the DAM, and the price book has to bring both together. Pagination connects to the PIM and DAM through an API, placing the right dimensions, drawings and images on each SKU automatically, so the book reflects the current data on every run.
Thousands of SKUs, several bath brands, one price book workflow. American Bath Group, a US bathware manufacturer, automated its price books on Pagination, with a Salsify PIM and a DAM connected through an API so specs, dimensions and drawings are placed on each SKU automatically.

Share a recent price book, spec sheet or catalog, plus a PIM or CSV export of the underlying product data. A short review shows which sections can be automated, which brand and formatting rules need to be defined, and what bathware catalog automation would look like across your brands and markets.
