Product update

Stop copying supplier data from PDFs

Most of the product data a brand needs already exists. It just lives in PDFs someone else made. Emfas now reads those documents, matches them to your catalog, and lets any attribute enrich straight from the right pages.

3 min read

A 200-page supplier workbook lands in your inbox. Somewhere in it are the specs for forty of your products. Until now the job was to open it, find each product, and retype what it says. Or to send it to someone else to retype.

Now you upload it to Emfas. That's the job.

How it works

  1. You upload the PDF. A supplier catalog, a price list, a lookbook, anything that names your products.
  2. Emfas reads it and matches it to your catalog. Every product in the document is connected to its pages.
  3. You enrich from it. Any attribute can read those pages when it generates, for every matched product at once.

No tagging. No per-product uploads. No telling Emfas which column holds the SKU.

Matching built for real documents

Supplier documents rarely write product codes the way your catalog does. Emfas expects that and handles the cases that come up in practice:

  • The supplier prints style and color codes separately. Your catalog stores them combined.
  • A leading zero dropped somewhere along the way, or an O where a 0 should be.
  • A spec table on page 12 and the collection intro on page 3. Both pages attach to the product.
  • No product code at all, only a name. That still counts.

It works on your catalog as it is, with nothing to set up. When Emfas is sure which product a page is about, the two are connected. When it isn't, it leaves the product unmatched rather than guessing, and you can attach the document yourself.

Who gets the most out of it

Distributors and resellers with shelves of supplier PDFs, brands filling in a whole season from one design pack, and anyone selling technical or regulated products where every spec should point back to a page.

You stay in control

Uploading a PDF changes nothing in your catalog. It's source material. Your product data only changes when you run an enrichment and approve the result, same as every other suggestion in Emfas. The PDFs stay in Emfas too. They never sync to your sales channels.

FAQ

Supplier catalogs, price lists, lookbooks, spec sheets, and design packs. Any PDF that names your products, by code or by name, can be matched to your catalog.

No. Emfas reads the document and matches it to your catalog on its own, using product codes, article numbers, EANs, and product names. Each product is connected to the pages where it appears.

No. The document becomes source material. Product data changes only when you generate an attribute that reads documents, and you approve what gets published, as with any other AI suggestion in Emfas.

Attach the document to the product yourself. Generations for that product will read it, and the receipt will show which document they used.
