Q: How does Orbatic help hardware businesses eliminate outdated printed catalogues?

Orbatic's live catalogue links update automatically whenever products are added, changed, or discontinued. Dealers and contractors always access your current hardware range — not last quarter's printed version — without any manual file redistribution or re-printing costs.

Hardware businesses deal with some of the largest and most complex product catalogues in any trade industry — hundreds of SKUs across categories, finishes, sizes, and load ratings. Whether you're a manufacturer supplying to distributors and retailers or a dealer serving contractors and builders, the challenge is the same: getting the right product information to the right person, at the right time, without a stack of printed catalogues that are outdated the moment they leave the press.
