The Problem
Product Data Is Fragmented: It Slows Everything Down
Disconnected Data Creates Friction Across Every Quote
Most MSPs, AV integrators, and security teams work with disconnected product data:
- Distributor catalogs with inconsistent formats
- Product databases requiring constant maintenance
- Manufacturer data that doesn’t match vendor SKUs
- Cryptic descriptions that don’t communicate value
This leads to:
- Time lost searching and re-entering data
- Gaps in product and vendor coverage
- Inconsistent quotes
- Extra validation effort
The Reality
Product Catalogs Alone Don’t Solve the Problem
Why Catalogs and Distributor Data Don’t Align
Etilize provides structured content, but not always vendor-specific part numbers.
Meanwhile:
- Distributor data isn’t standardized
- Internal databases drift
- Products exist differently across systems
Without connection, data remains incomplete.
The Engine
A Unified Product Matching System
Manufacturer Part Numbers Keep Everything Aligned
Manufacturer part numbers act as the common link.
This is what allows product content and distributor data to connect.
QuoteWerks:
- Matches products across all sources
- Connects content to distributor SKUs
- Eliminates duplication
