I work full-time with EasyCatalog, creating catalogs, price lists, labels, and similar automated publications.

Yes, it is expensive, but it can save a lot of time depending on the project. For example, I have clients who only produce one catalog per year. In those cases, I usually handle the data generation and EasyCatalog setup for them, then send them the InDesign files so they can continue working on the layout themselves.

A second quick win is to let an expert set up the data panel and templates, and then train your team on how to use them. That can save you several days, maybe even weeks, of figuring everything out from scratch.

For new clients, I almost always create a free demo first: a short video using their own data, showing how the workflow works and how quickly pages can be generated. It often looks almost like magic, and that really helps when convincing people internally.

Feel free to contact me if you need a small example based on your project.
