Interactive Parts Catalogs

"It used to take us months to create, update and distribute parts catalogs to the right people.”

Publishing parts catalogs using traditional tools is time-consuming and difficult to maintain. Interactive Parts Catalogs (IPCs) are the future of efficient parts management for manufacturers. Say goodbye to printed parts catalogs and outdated, hard-to-maintain electronic parts catalogs and hello to always up-to-date, web-accessible catalogs that connect your Bill of Materials (BOM), diagrams, and part details with unparalleled interactivity.

Flexible Publishing Options.

Rigid systems don’t often accommodate the needs of OEMs to manually update some information and automate other tasks. Our platform has an easy-to-use intuitive interface for manual content creation and updates, API integrations, and a standard XML specification to streamline content creation and publishing:

Online Publishing Tools: Intuitive tools make it easy for your team to create or update part, assembly page, illustrated parts catalog and technical content information directly within the platform.
API Integration: Automate updates from your ERP, PLM or PIM systems to streamline part and content management.
XML Structured Content: Align to our standard XML specification to easily automate the generation of parts catalogs and pages for publishing to our platform.

This flexibility empowers your team to choose the workflow that best suits your needs to deliver accurate interactive parts manuals and aftermarket documentation.

Seamless interactivity between BOMs and Diagrams.

Printed or PDF catalogs and Electronic Parts Catalogs (EPC) make it nearly impossible to connect parts lists with diagrams, leading to inaccurate orders and equipment downtime trying to find the right part.

Our Interactive Parts Catalog solution easily links your BOM and diagrams using AI hotpointing technology, allowing users to:

Click on any part within an exploded view diagram to instantly see part numbers, descriptions, and availability.
Select parts directly from within the BOM to automatically select and zoom to the associated part in a diagram.

Effortless content reuse.

Manually updating the same part information across multiple BOMs and illustrated parts catalogs is time-consuming and error prone.

With our IPC solution, update part information once, and it automatically updates across all relevant interactive parts catalogs.

Save time and eliminate redundancy.
Maintain consistency and accuracy across all of your documentation.

This powerful feature ensures that your parts catalogs always reflect the latest updates, whether you’re managing thousands of parts across thousands of catalogs or just a few.

Branded PDF generation for print and paper purposes.

Creating printed illustrated parts catalogs can be a cumbersome, resource-intensive process. Our platform allows you to generate branded PDF catalogs with a few clicks.

Customize layouts with your logo, branding, and design preferences.
Export individual parts catalogs or entire collections for offline use or distribution.
Enable automatic generation of part and page indexes in printed content.

Whether you’re printing for new equipment shipments or dealers and field technicians need printed copies, this feature makes printing polished, illustrated parts catalogs effortless.

SmartEquip Integration.

Documoto is also proud to partner with SmartEquip to bring seamless integration for suppliers that transact over the SmartEquip Network.
