System Overview

What the Product Catalog system is and how it works for your business

The Product Catalog is a section of your website that brings together your catalogs, brochures, and datasheets (PDF product documents) in one place, organized by the brands or manufacturers you sell. Customers visit your website and open or download documents instantly, no phone call or email required to request a file.

It’s built for businesses that sell products from several brands or manufacturers, such as distributors, resellers, or manufacturers with multiple types of product documentation. You or your team can add and edit documents yourselves through miraCMS, no need to wait on a development team.

• 🗂️ Grouped by brand: Every document sits under a brand or manufacturer you’ve defined. Customers open the brand they’re interested in and see only its documents.
• 📄 Three document types: Catalog, brochure, and datasheet. Each document carries a clear type label.
• 🖼️ Preview images: Add a cover or preview image to any document (optional), so customers recognize documents they’ve seen before.
• ⬇️ Direct downloads: Customers tap a document and open or download the PDF instantly, no form, no sign-up.
• ✍️ Self-service editing via miraCMS: Add, edit, or remove documents yourself from the management panel known as the Produkt-Manager, no code knowledge required.
• 🔀 Custom ordering: Order documents within each brand the way you want, for example putting your most-requested documents first.

Brands / Manufacturers (Categories)

A brand (also called a “category”) is a group that product documents are filed under, typically the name of a manufacturer or brand you represent. Set up as many brands as your actual product range needs. For example:

• Your primary brand: Your best-selling product line
• A secondary brand: Supporting products or a specialty line
• Other manufacturers: Smaller manufacturers with fewer documents grouped under one heading
• • Add new brands yourself in the Produkt-Manager (see Chapter 2.3)

Brands are yours to manage

Adding a brand, renaming it, giving it a logo, reordering the list, and deleting a brand are all done by you, in the brand bar of the Produkt-Manager (Chapter 2.3). The documents within a brand likewise, at any time.

Optional features

Document preview images and a “request more information” button are optional extras arranged to fit each business. If a screen described in this manual isn’t visible on your website, contact miraTEQ to ask about it or have it enabled.
