Because Catalog Master is completely customizable, please contact us for all purchasing inquiries.

Every purchase of Catalog Master is customizable and you have the option to choose whichever parts of the suite would work for your business.

Catalog Master runs only on Windows. However most newer versions of the Mac have Intel chips and support Windows as an additional operating system. Catalog Master will run fine in those environments.

Full support and training for the first year is included as part of the purchase price. Support contracts after the first year are available. These are optional and vary in price depending on the client’s needs. Most of our clients opt for them.

There are also options to lease the software. With this option, the client may discontinue the lease at any time, without further obligation; lease charges are not refundable. Lease charges may however be applied to the purchase price, making this in effect a “lease/purchase” option. Please inquire for further details.

Catalog Master offers full support for the internet. Catalog output can be done in HTML format, and streamed to your website. An integral FTP client allows you to send an entire directory of your catalog photos to your website in one quick operation.

Catalog Master has full support for output to the major printed catalog platforms such as Adobe InDesign, FrameMaker and PageMaker, Corel Ventura, QuarkXpress and RichText.

Any Windows or Linux computer made within the last 10 years can function as the server for Catalog Master. Some clients use as a “server” a simple workstation. Catalog Master normally uses MySQL as the database back-end, but can also run on Oracle, MS SQL Server and other SQL-based server databases.

Each client owns their own data and Catalog Master has a number of higher level safeguards to track all attempts to maliciously steal or destroy your sensitive data. We are also available to advise or implement secure backup systems.
