LAGO is perfect for
A strong core is a foundation for any marketing strategy and success. The LAGO Core, combined with additional LAGO modules, enables complete control of your marketing catalogs from planning to output using one integrated solution.
LAGO combines product and image data from its own PIM and DAM system to seamlessly populate catalog content in Adobe InDesign for designers. Thanks to our proprietary InDesign plug-in, those same designers can focus on making final creative adjustments to the catalog instead of its tedious production, thanks to the automatic layout function.
Because there is a constant direct link to the product and image database, designers will also have peace of mind knowing that the catalog will have the correct data consistently every time. In addition, the dynamic placeholder technology and bi-directional communication will update information whenever necessary, regardless of where the catalog is in the production process.

Catalog Production Insights from Comosoft
The retail customer experience is not an easily definable event—or even a series of events. It’s a complex relationship, not a checklist of dos and don’ts. And, like all relationships, it takes time and effort to develop.
Brand consistency is about providing your customers with the same experience and impression of who you are as a company when they interact with you, no matter the marketing avenue or communication channel.
E-commerce brands need a way to manage consistent, high-quality product information across print and digital channels. PIM systems can provide that single source of truth.
The global product information management (PIM) market is poised for significant growth over the next few years. While the PIM market hit $9.9 billion in 2021—a testament to eCommerce and omnichannel selling—it’s anticipated that the overall market will reach $16.5 billion by 2026.
Those claiming that the power of print is waning need only look at the numbers to see how far this is from the truth. Print media is one of the most trusted media channels among consumers, who reportedly trust newspapers and magazines to help make a purchase more than any other type of advertising. In fact, 82 percent of Americans rely on newspaper and magazine advertising as a reliable source.
As retailers celebrate the end of the holiday shopping season and anxiously plan for the new year, one subject is on everyone’s mind: data. There’s so much of it, so decision-makers must ask some hard questions in 2024. Is our data managed as a “single source of truth” for marketing and advertising decisions?
