Using the Product Catalog

Browse products by category, view detailed specs and pricing, compare with competitor offerings, and share product information with clients.

The product catalog is your portable reference library for every product your company sells. Browse by category, check detailed specifications, compare with competitor offerings, and share product information directly with clients during or after a visit.

Browsing by Category

Navigate to Catalog from the sidebar. Products are organized into categories that mirror your company's product families:

  1. Tap a category to see all products within it (e.g., Hydraulic Oils, Greases, Gear Oils, Engine Oils, Cutting Fluids).
  2. Use the search bar to find a specific product by name, reference code, or keyword.
  3. Filter by availability, price range, or packaging type to narrow your results.

Pro tip

The catalog works offline. Product data is cached locally on your device, so you can browse specifications and pricing even when you have no internet connection.

Product Details and Pricing

Tap any product to open its detail page. Here you will find:

  • Description — A summary of what the product is and its primary use cases.
  • Technical specifications — Viscosity, temperature range, certifications, compliance standards, and other technical data.
  • Available packaging — Drums, pails, barrels, IBCs, and bulk options with their respective prices.
  • Unit pricing — Price per unit for each packaging option, updated from your ERP or manually managed.

Competitor Comparison

Kolva lets you see how your products stack up against competitor offerings. The competitor comparison view shows:

  • Equivalent products — Competitor products that match the same application and specification.
  • Pricing comparison — Side-by-side pricing where available.
  • Feature differences — Key differentiators such as certifications, performance ratings, or included services.

Note

Competitor data is managed by your admin or product team. If you notice missing or outdated competitor information, reach out to your admin to update the catalog.

Sharing Product Information

Share product details with clients directly from the catalog:

  1. Open the product detail page.
  2. Tap Share to generate a shareable link or export a product sheet.
  3. Send via email, WhatsApp, or any messaging app available on your device.
  4. The shared page displays product details in a clean, branded format — no login required for the recipient.

Pro tip

When a client asks about a product you are unfamiliar with, use the AI Chat to ask questions like "What is the recommended application for this product?" or "How does this compare to Product X?" The AI has access to your full catalog data.
