Create in-store posters in four ways

Toucan® adapts to your data sources, working habits and the level of design freedom granted to each user to create in-store posters, POP materials and point-of-sale communication assets.

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.

Turn product information into posters, POP materials and ready-to-use assets

Toucan® combines available product data with templates designed for your brand to reduce re-entry, preserve visual consistency and speed up in-store poster creation.

Work with controlled templates

Define editable areas, required fields and design rules for each type of material.

Adapt one campaign

Reuse the same message across different print and screen formats without rebuilding every asset.

Manage user permissions

Choose which features, templates and content are available to headquarters and store users.

Structure your campaigns

Group the materials required for each operation and make them easy to access across the network.
