As a managed service provider or technology solutions company, having a well-organized and up-to-date catalog of products and services is essential for efficient operations and providing an excellent customer experience. Salesbuildr offers a powerful set of tools to help you centrally manage your offerings with ease.

One of the core features is the ability to seamlessly import your existing products and services from Autotask into Salesbuildr. This ensures your catalog in Salesbuildr always matches what's in your PSA system, preventing discrepancies. Any changes made to imported items in Salesbuildr will even sync back to update your Autotask price lists automatically.

For each product or service, Salesbuildr provides a dedicated page where you can enrich the listing with detailed descriptions, product images/videos, specifications, and related documentation. This creates an informative, self-serve experience for customers to learn about your offerings.

Beyond just listing products, Salesbuildr allows you to comprehensively manage every aspect in one place - from pricing to availability to bundling add-ons. You can configure dynamic pricing rules to ensure sales prices stay aligned with distributor costs. Setting up required or optional add-on items by category helps you optimize product bundles and revenue.

The visibility and categorization of products is also customizable. You can organize items into tailored categories fitting your business structure. Want to create customer-specific catalogs? No problem - just set visibility for who can access particular product categories.

With these capabilities and more, Salesbuildr empowers you to build a sales-ready, polished products and services catalog to improve operations and better showcase your offerings to customers. The centralized management approach eliminates silos and redundant work across your sales and operations teams.

This not only streamlines your internal processes but also enhances the customer experience by providing accurate and reliable information about the services you offer.
