ANTEROS has a modular structure, allowing you to gradually build up your investment.
Most of the ANTEROS modules are listed and grouped by area of functionality below.
Data Maintenance
ANTEROS allows you to maintain all your product data centrally and efficiently including texts, translations, product links and media as well as monitor the quality of your data. All modules can be used by an unlimited number of users!
We provide the following modules within this function group:

The ANTEROS.ai module can be used to generate texts or calculation rules using AI (initially via a ChatGPT connection).
Media Database (ANTEROS.mam)
uto centrally maintain images, videos, and documents within the company, upload them easily, and automatically convert them to different formats during upload. In web forms, you can add additional information such as the validity range or license condition and assign the media objects to products or categories.
Translation Management (ANTEROS.tm)
makes your product translations highly efficient. You can filter specific translation-relevant texts in the central dictionary and translate them online or via Excel with little effort, especially since text changes are highlighted in color.
Option: ANTEROS.tm.deepl integrates the machine translator DeepL into the translation module.
Quality Management (ANTEROS.qm, gap, crc)
to clearly monitor and make targeted improvements to the quality of your data in a dashboard. You can easily create quality reports for individual users or groups or structure the quality of the data via data checks and quality levels.

Print Outputs
ANTEROS print modules help you to automatically generate various print documents with your product data from the PIM system.

Optional: ANTEROS.flipb allows to generate flipping books directly at the print generation process which may automatically be stored on a website. ANTEROS.print.bc automatically generates barcodes and QR codes in print from EAN/GTIN. ANTEROS.print.xls can be used to control which products and prices should appear in print during print generation via an Excel file. ANTEROS.web.print can be used to integrate the print functions into an ANTEROS webshop (ANTEROS.web is required for this).
Product Labels (ANTEROS.label)
to efficiently create labels for product packaging, repackaging, etc. With the help of a label editor you can create the layout for the label types, link them to product data, generate EAN values to barcodes and place fixed logos, images or texts on them. You can generate the labels not only for any specific or all linked products, as well as check whether the space on the label is sufficient for all product data.
