Product structure

Catalog is the product foundation behind every selling channel.

Structure products, categories, brands, collections, attributes, options, menu choices, variants, and online presentation so POS, Inventory, Purchase, Marketing, and Reports share one product truth.

Product structure

Catalog holds products, categories, brands, collections, attributes, and configurable product variants.

Attributes belong inside Catalog. The product model supports menus, fashion variants, retail options, and online presentation without splitting product truth across channels.

Restaurant menu options

Attach modifiers, sizes, choices, and service-specific options without changing the core product flow.

Fashion sizes and colors

Represent variants and presentation needs in a way that fits retail product discovery.

Service add-ons

Support appointment extras, bundled services, and custom display needs where the business requires them.

Site and e-commerce display

Keep product presentation flexible for online menus, catalogs, offers, and storefront sections.

Connected capabilities

Catalog connects products to Inventory, Purchase, Sales, Marketing, and online presentation.

Products should not be rebuilt for every channel. Catalog keeps the product model reusable across checkout, stock, supplier, content, and reporting workflows.
