Max Frank and crossbase - reaching the goal on time

MAX FRANK has been developing, producing and selling a wide range of tried-and-tested products for concrete and reinforced concrete construction for more than half a century. With a technically sophisticated and intensive integration of industrial production, high-quality products and a wide range of services, the company reliably supports its customers in all construction phases.

MAX FRANK benefited from the modular structure of the crossbase solution and was therefore able to implement an optimal solution quickly. The initial focus was on the printing sector. A gradual expansion to other areas and crossbase modules is already planned. The production of the 200+ page price list utilizes many advantages of the crossbase solution:

The automation of many functions simplifies the creation of complex tables and ensures significant time savings. Both table page sections with flow frames and wrapping tables as well as matrix tables with multiplied price list variant articles can be produced. Sophisticated editorial page spreads with text and images are also created automatically.

PDF bookmarks are created via the headings and subheadings. The table of contents with cross-references makes it possible to go directly to the product in the PDF via the page numbers. Cross-references are also taken into account in the body text.

The crossbase.trans module makes it easy to determine translation requirements and offers various options for integrating a translation agency. The price list, which has so far been published in German for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, is to be translated with crossbase and will also be produced in other languages in the future.
