Delivering the power
of managed product information
:
unlock the true value of your business

The information you maintain on the products you sell is your most valuable asset—it’s used by almost every department in your company, and your customers can’t place orders without it. But are you exploiting the full value of your product information?
Despite its importance, most companies don’t manage their product information. As a result, old and inaccurate data proliferates. Sales people and customers get frustrated. Customer service becomes needlessly difficult. Your company is burdened with unnecessary additional costs resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information. Worst of all, customers don’t get the service they deserve, and some prospects never become customers because it’s just too difficult to buy from you.

e!go Lets You Take Control Of Your Data. If any of these problems confront you, we can help. Since 1994, Millstar has been a pioneer in managed product information, starting with customized database solutions for individual clients. Applying this hands-on knowledge, we’ve now developed e!go, a powerful suite of product information management



software tools that harness your data so that it can easily be translated into powerful e-commerce Web sites, economical printed catalogs, CD-ROM catalogs and more. In today’s business environment, managed product information is no luxury. It’s a competitive necessity. With managed product information, you’ll sell more effectively, your customers will find it easier to do business with you, and you’ll reap demonstrable cost savings by using one database to produce all your product information, regardless of format.

Can you afford to move to managed product information?

A better question to ask is: can you afford not to manage your product information?

As business moves faster and becomes more demanding and more digital, solid product information is more critical than ever to your sales force. As selling becomes more automated, in some cases your product information actually becomes your sales force, which is why it must be current, accurate and complete. The more you enhance it, the harder it can work to increase sales while reducing your costs. The Millstar advantage Millstar gives you the advantage of a custom solution without the cost.
