You are a serial manufacturer and have a product portfolio consisting of large series? Your products come in different variants that are frequently built and sold? Do you want to make sure that your customers or service technicians can quickly find the right spare parts catalog for a particular product series and don't accidentally use the wrong catalog? Then our simplified access to the spare parts catalog with the "Extended Navigation" module is exactly what you need!
The extended navigation offers you two main use cases:
An example: You are a manufacturer of kitchen appliances in a wide range of variants. Now one of your customers needs a spare part for a slicer. To help your customer quickly find the right spare parts catalog, he can choose the optical search method: Using an upstream tile view, your customer navigates from the higher-level product family to the corresponding product group to the right product. By clicking on the corresponding product, your customer is taken directly to the spare parts catalog for the slicer he is using and can identify the spare part he needs.
Catalog creators have complete flexibility in dividing up the individual categories. It is thus possible to insert logical intermediate levels, which greatly simplify navigation for the end customer or service technician.
It becomes even more descriptive if you use corresponding images in addition to the product categories.
Alternatively, your customer can choose to access the catalog by serial number: By entering the serial number of the slicer in the upstream search field in the service information system, your customer is taken directly to the correct spare parts catalog and can select the required spare part. It couldn't be easier or faster.
