A product is released for particular countries or for all. Without an entry, the agreed default market applies.
Web moduleProduct Finder
The right product in a few clicks. Counted, not guessed.
The Product Finder brings the hub's linked data to your website. Customers filter by the technical values they actually need, and every hit count is exact.
01From hub to web
The hub supplies the values. The finder filters live.
Because the attributes are typed in the hub, the finder knows numbers, units and ranges. Filters are calculated at the moment of the query, not in an upstream run.
From the hubTyped values
Every attribute with value, unit and language.
From the hubFacets
Filter values per product and series, derived in the hub.
From the hubMarket rules
Which product may be shown in which country.
In the finderLive filtering
Every selection combined at once, with a count for every option.
02Filter the way engineers ask
Every value is filterable, with unit and range.
The finder does not filter text, it filters values. That is why a range like “at least 16 bar” finds every product that qualifies, whatever the notation in the source system was.
- Selection: one value or several, joined with AND or OR
- Ranges: less than, greater than, between, with a slider
- Contains: for lists such as approvals or media
- Live counts: every option shows how many products remain; what no longer matches is greyed out
- Multilingual: the same filters in every language, from the same values

03Markets and countries
One catalog. Every country sees what it can buy.
Country rules are attached to the product in the hub. The finder applies them before a single hit is counted.
Two series share a name, one for Europe, one for the Americas. The market decides which one is meant.
“Is this available in DE and AT?” is answered per country, not as a mixture.
04Finder and AI
The assistant uses the finder's arithmetic.
When a customer asks in everyday language, the AI only reads the criteria out of the question. The counting is done by the finder. The AI invents neither products nor hit counts.

Same filters, same country rules as on the website.
AnswerHits with a link
Straight into the finder, to keep filtering.
If a word fits several values, “heating” as an application and as a medium, the finder offers the options instead of guessing one.
If the question says more than the selection, the finder adds the missing criteria from the question itself.
05On your website
Embedded in your CMS, released in stages.
The finder is embedded as a module in your existing website. Layout and corporate identity stay yours.
A new state is first built as the next stage and checked. It goes live only when released.
The values in the finder are the ones in the catalog and in the assistant's answers, because all of them read from the hub.
