Poster creation
Create your posters in four ways
Toucan® adapts to your data sources, working habits and the level of design freedom granted to each user.
From a product catalog
Select a product from the available catalog. The information provided is automatically placed into the chosen template.
Using a barcode
Enter a product barcode, such as an EAN or GTIN, to retrieve its data and quickly generate the corresponding poster.
With guided entry
Complete the fields provided in a template. The layout remains controlled and users can only edit approved content.
In free-form mode
Build a fully customized material using the integrated design tools when your project requires more flexibility.
With or without a connected product database
Toucan® can use a catalog, product database or ERP when available. Guided entry and free-form creation also let teams produce materials without a direct connection to a product data source.
Data and templates
