About the Signature System Catalogues

Selecting a Product

Logging into the System

3.1	About the Signature System Catalogues

The online catalogue enables you to browse products, view their technical details and purchase them online. The Signature System catalogues are detailed and easy to use. They contain four major levels that guide you to the final desired product through the most efficient process. The products reside on the final level of the catalogue.

Each catalogue has bread crumb links displayed at the top of the product selection screen that indicate which level of the catalogue you are in.

Important

You can click any level of the catalogue on the bread crumb links, at any time, to return to an earlier stage of product selection.

The four levels of the catalogue are:

■	Product types

■	Product groups

■	Sub-groups

■

Name blocks: The system is set up of groups and sub-groups that contain products distinguished by specific features. The sub-groups are divided into groups in which the distinguishing feature between each product is minimal yet important; this means that one name block can contain four items that are basically the same product but differ for example in colour or size. The name blocks contain products with the same name and the same representative image, the final product is chosen by filtering through specific fields in each name block.

3.2	Selecting a Product

As a guest you can browse the catalogue, view thousands of product types and select the products of your choice; as a logged in user you can purchase the selected products.

To login to the system refer to Logging into the System.

To create a user account refer to Creating an Account.

To select a product:

1.	Navigate to the catalogue. The product types are displayed:

2.	ClickProduct Type to access the specific section. A list of product groups is displayed:

3.	Click the relevant Product Group. The sub-groups are displayed with a representative image per group:

This is the second level of the catalogue.

At the top left corner of the screen is a list of the sub groups. Clicking a specific sub-group name automatically scrolls you down to that group on the screen.

4.	Clicking the group’s title displays a view of all the products in a specific sub-group. Click the relevant Sub-Group to display the name blocks.

The ( ) represent the number of products in the specific name block.

5.	Click the relevant Name Block from where you can drill down to a specific product. The following screen is displayed:

You can see the four levels of the catalogue on the bread crumb links. The name block you chose is displayed on the left side of the screen. There is an indicator of the number of products found for your specific name block.

This system provides a mistake-free selection by guiding you through the process like a personal technical advisor. The catalogue provides you with all combinations of the variables relevant to your product only. This means that any fields displayed in the selection process, such as size or colour, are specifically tailored to suit your desired product. The selection process starts from top selector down; this is why other selectors are disabled (colored in grey). Once the first selection is made, the system automatically filters the relevant products available based on your selection. The filtering process to your final product is intuitive and error-free.

6.	After the first selection field, you are able to further select from the available products:

The selected data is displayed and the bottom selector is now enabled.

■	The Back button takes you back a step or selection.

■	The Reset button resets all selections.

7.	Once past the filtering process,the Overview screen of the requested product is displayed:

The bread crumb links marked in red display the four levels of the catalogue used to reach the final product.

Returning to earlier stages of product selection is always possible through the bread crumb links.

The overview screen displays the unique product image of your product choice. The price of the product is displayed on the bottom right corner of the image. There are four tabs in this screen: Technical Data, Spare Parts, Kits, and Complementary Products.

3.2.1

Viewing the Technical Data Page

3.2.2

In the example below, A4 Papers are considered to be complementary to the Ratchet Pencil.

The system displays only the options that fit your specific products. The selection process is a drill down, mistake free, filtration that results in the desired final complementary product that matches your product perfectly. This process is built up of a slide technique along with specific characteristics selectors.

To select a complementary product:

1.	Click the Complementary tab. A list of complementary products groups is displayed alongside their representative images:

2.	Scroll down the list of product groups and click the group that matches your desired complementary product. A list of sub-groups is displayed in the case you have numerous product sub-groups:

About the Advanced Search

5.1	About the Advanced Search

The Signature System has a one-of-a-kind advanced search engine that enables you to search for specific products through a quick and easy process. This advanced search engine is like no other! You can search for a specific product with very little information and the system guides you to the exact product you desire. The parameters of the search are not co-dependent and the order of parameter selection is irrelevant. This means that you can enter the information you have in the corresponding fields, even if partial, and reach your desired product in a matter of minutes.

Some systems have an illustration-based advanced search which enables you to select product groups by presented images.
