Overview
Elestore, the Object Content Management
System administrates all content of product catalogs,
data sheets, price lists, offers and other data-heavy publications
for paper, e-paper and/or HTML or Flash.
Elestore works stand-alone or as an extension to ERP systems,
enhancing the slim ERP data by all publication related data,
settings and formatting including multi-language floating texts
and pictures or drawings.
Data types
Elestore puts primary emphasis on:
- multi-lingual and formatted floating text objects
- commercial product details (in close cooperation with your
ERP database)
- technical product details including variable product attributes
- support for multiple industry standard data formats
- and images with multi-lingual descriptions.
Close database publishing and data exchange alliance
Elestore acts autonomously or as an integral part of Elepub,
the Object Database Publishing system and/or in close co-operation
with several other software products of EleFamily like EleExxel,
ElePricelist, Elecalc,
Elequote or Elecat
. While Elestore administrates all data, these sibling products
make the best use of it, publish, distribute or echange data
in Elestore.
Elepub and its siblings
automatically publish this data to any type of publication in
any format on any media and from one single database source!
Elestore is well suitable for every user of Windows software
While Elestore is used by product managers and office clerks
to administrate all product related data, Elepub automatically
publishes this data to any commercial or technical product publication.
Technically, Elestore and Elepub are just one single system
avoiding all data imports or conversions. They were designed
from the very beginning as one system but they can also be used
separately.
