eCat: Sales Rep2026.3.1

eCat is a fast, easy to use interactive product catalog, product presentation, and order entry tool. It enables sales professionals to quickly find what customers need, prepare presentations and PDF catalogs, and take orders whether online or offline, at home, at a trade show, or on the road!

Your company's product, pricing, inventory, customer, sales history information, and sales collateral like price lists, brochures and videos, and more are all stored on a cloud server. A powerful set of web admin tools enables you to distribute information selectively to users' iPads based on the needs of each type of user. Your catalog and other information are presented on the iPad in a fast, elegant, easy to use format and are fully available when the iPad is offline.

eCat supports unlimited custom product fields and filters, multiple order entry methods, versatile pricing models, international currencies, multiple discounting methods, product configuration and pricing with user selectable options, barcode scanning, user and company customizable product lists, custom fields on the customer file, and numerous other features.
