Venhill goes Virtual

Venhill has moved away from a traditional PDF cataloguing system for its British-made cables and hoses, switching to a much more user-friendly digital version.
Traditionally, Venhill’s 12,000+ fitments were compiled into one extensive PDF catalogue. This was incredibly time-consuming for the Venhill team and made life tricky for trade partners too; when searching for a particular product, users would have to scroll through, page by page, or print the document and search manually.
Now, thanks to a system upgrade, the catalogue is fed directly from the venhill.co.uk Part Finder, and compiled into one fully formatted Excel document. It’s accessible 24/7 from the Venhill website and can be easily searched and edited to suit specific needs. For example, if you’re a Suzuki specialist, you can remove all other marques from the list and focus on only the relevant makes and models.
Since the data is taken directly from the website, any additions or changes to the range are instantly reflected. It allows for much more frequent updates, compared to the previous annual catalogue refresh.
The new format makes it much easier to integrate Venhill’s product listings into retailers’ own websites and makes things more straightforward for international customers, who can adapt the data to suit their home markets.
Benefits of the new digital catalogue:
- Easy to search and edit: the catalogue can be easily searched and edited to suit specific needs, such as filtering by make and model.
- Up-to-date: listings are updated directly from the website, so any additions or changes to the range are instantly reflected.
- Easy to integrate: the new format makes it much easier to integrate Venhill’s product listings into retailers’ own websites.
- International friendly: data can be adapted to suit international markets.
To access the catalogue:
Existing trade account users need to be logged into www.venhill.co.uk on their account. New users and businesses can register for a trade account, via the accounts application form in the downloads section.
Venhill’s new digital catalogue is a significant advance over the previous PDF version. It is easier to use, more up-to-date, and quicker to integrate into retailers’ websites. It is also more international-friendly, making it easier for customers around the world to access Venhill’s products.
