Compare plans and pricing ↗Before you startA few answers.
A few answers.
Clearly explained.
The format, files and differences: what to know before comparing.
All questions ↗Do I need a FAB file and a DIS file?
No. FAB-DIS is a shared model for exchanging product data. You compare two editions of the same catalogue: the old one and the new one.
Which files can I compare with CatalogInspect?
The comparison covers two FAB-DIS 3.0 Excel .xlsx workbooks from the same manufacturer. PDFs, images, BMEcat catalogues and migration from 2.3 to 3.0 are outside its scope.
Does a difference always mean an error?
No. A price increase may be correct, and a missing product reference may reflect a change in scope. The report helps you examine differences; your team confirms what they mean before changing its data.
Does CatalogInspect replace Easy-Check?
No. Easy-Check provides the official compliance check for the FAB-DIS model. CatalogInspect is intended to compare two editions and does not issue certification or a compliance number.
