We help teams who manage data-rich content in InDesign — developing tailored solutions that cut down on manual work and simplify document production at any scale.
Services
Custom Solutions
Our solutions are tailored to your needs. From simple drag-and-drop to advanced push-button automation—we offer a range of flexible solutions, allowing you to choose your own path.
Training & Support
We offer training and support for existing and self-implemented solutions. Start with our Road to Self-Sufficiency mentoring program, or enhance your skills through our EasyCatalog eLearning course, complete with hands-on exercises.
Data Strategy
Automation requires complete, accurate data—whether it comes from Excel, Google Sheets, PIM platforms, or design files. With our guidance, you can ensure your data is structured in a way best supports an automated workflow.
InDesign Services
Some of our clients count on us to leverage the solutions we have developed for them — and deliver the results. For others, we assist in creating new templates or enhancing their Avatar-developed solutions.
Avatar & EasyCatalog
EasyCatalog is an advanced plug-in for Adobe InDesign, recognized by InDesign Magazine as one of the “Most Valuable Plug-Ins”.
As North America's official reseller, it’s also a tool we know inside and out — and a critical part of how we build sustainable solutions.
We use EasyCatalog because it gives us control where production usually breaks down: managing variation, frequent data updates, and handling changes without compromising layout integrity.
