For manufacturers & distributors of engineered products
A spreadsheet can hold your product data. It can't produce your spec sheet.
SpecLatch is the product database built for engineered products — units, formulas, and confidentiality are part of the data itself. Keep every spec in one place, and generate the spec sheets, brochures, catalogs, and public pages your team sends out. Always current. Every audience sees exactly what it should.

Built for the daily work of a catalog — imports, approvals, publishing — not for one-off demos.
Your ERP manages transactions. Excel stores numbers. Neither manages engineering product knowledge.
So it lives in spreadsheets, Word documents, old PDFs, and one veteran's memory — copied by hand every time someone needs a document. SpecLatch gives it a proper home.
From scattered files to a single source of truth — in three moves
Model your catalog
Tables for your series, models, and components — linked the way they relate in real life. If you can structure a spreadsheet, you can structure SpecLatch.
Decide who sees what
Every field is public, internal, or confidential. Engineering, sales, and your website read the same record — each sees exactly its tier.
Generate the documents
Design a spec sheet, brochure, or catalog once. Every record fills it from live data — and when the data moves, the documents tell you.
Unit-aware by design
Fields that know they're a torque, not just a number
Store 240 N·m. Display 177 lb·ft. Calculate with it, roll it up across a series — and formulas are dimension-checked, so a unit mistake is rejected before it ever reaches a datasheet.
No more unit typos surviving three copy-pastes into a customer-facing PDF.
Per-field confidentiality
One record, three audiences — each sees exactly the right fields
Cost and supplier stay with engineering. Distributors see their pricing. Your website gets the published fields — enforced by the database, not by whoever last edited the brochure.
An approval workflow bridges the gap: engineering publishes, marketing consumes, both sleep at night.
Distributor — portal & quotes: 5 of 6 fields shown. The supplier stays confidential.
Documents, designed once
Spec sheets and brochures that fill themselves
A drag-and-drop designer for spec sheets, brochures, and catalogs — photos, spec tables, your brand colors. What you see in the designer is exactly what prints.
Assign a template to a table and every record gets its document. In English, French, or Spanish.
Always current
Change one specification — everything downstream knows
Documents remember what they were built from: update a spec and every affected PDF is flagged stale until you regenerate it. Your public catalog and the read API serve the published truth directly.
No more month-old brochures quietly circulating with last quarter's numbers.
The same system, wearing your industry's fields
SpecLatch has no fixed schema — the fields are yours. Flip the example: a valve, a pump, a gearmotor, and a luminaire are the same record structure carrying different specs.
Valves & flow control example: CV-200 Control Valve — flow coefficient, kv (metric), body material, pressure class, seat material, unit cost.
Made for manufacturers and distributors of engineered products
Manufacturers
Give your engineering data a home outside the ERP — and turn it automatically into the documents your customers actually ask for.
Distributors
Normalize specifications from dozens of suppliers — units and all — publish one consistent catalog, and keep supplier costs where they belong: confidential.
Start with your own catalog
Create a workspace, import a spreadsheet, and see your own products in SpecLatch today — the trial is the demo, on your data instead of ours.
