Best Salsify Alternative for B2B Manufacturers (2026)
Not every company that searches for a Salsify alternative is trying to feed retailers. Many are B2B manufacturers and distributors who need to know what they sell, who supplies it, what it costs, and how to show it to the right customers. If that is your situation, the question is less about syndication and more about a catalogue that your own teams can share.
Questions that decide whether you need syndication or a shared catalogue
- Who consumes the catalogue? Retailer feeds and marketplaces need syndication; business customers may need a controlled link.
- Do your own teams use it? Purchasing, sales and warehouse staff should read the same record.
- Is cost data part of the record? Suppliers, contracts and prices belong next to the description if buyers and sellers both work from it.
- Who can see prices? Customer-specific visibility matters in B2B.
- How will you load products? Bulk import with visible errors saves weeks.
How Millisave covers the internal catalogue
Items can be imported from files, classified into categories and subcategories, and linked to suppliers. Catalogues are assembled by category or by strategic assortment, and used in requests, RFQs and shares. Categories act as filters across requests, sourcing and catalogues, and an AI categorisation tool can help classify products at scale under administrator control. Each product holds three prices: actual from current quotes, estimated for planning, and a weighted average for benchmarking.
Digital Catalog also covers supplier onboarding and qualification, so the catalogue is backed by suppliers whose performance is visible. A supplier marketplace lets buyers add a supplier's product to a request when the company catalogue lacks it, and suppliers can announce promotions.
Sharing with customers
The sales team builds an e-catalogue from all products, selected products with per-product discounts, or selected catalogues with per-catalogue discounts. A share can be restricted to known customers who verify their identity, and a customer can submit a quotation request from it, which creates a quote starting from their own selection. Sales & Marketing sends the link by email or WhatsApp with an optional AI banner in the company colours. Digital Catalog is the page that describes the catalogue in full.
Stock and reorder awareness
Sales and warehouse teams also need to know what is on hand. Digital Catalog lets a company set minimum and maximum stock and reorder thresholds per product, update stock in bulk by file, and see which items sit below the reorder point so requests can be created quickly. It is not a multi-warehouse ledger, so companies that need one should discuss current scope with the Millisave team.
When Salsify may be the better choice
If you must keep detailed content consistent across many retailer and marketplace channels, track the digital shelf, or use GDSN data, Salsify's published scope addresses that directly. Millisave does not describe retailer syndication or digital shelf analytics.

Frequently asked questions
What is a product catalogue tool for B2B distributors?
Millisave Digital Catalog holds one catalogue for buying and selling. Each record links suppliers, contracts, stock and prices, and the sales team can share selected products as a secure e-catalogue with controlled prices and discounts. It is designed for manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers.
How do I load products into Millisave?
A company can import or create items, classify them by category and subcategory, and link suppliers. Bulk import runs with progress and error reporting, so failures are visible. Catalogues are then assembled by category or by strategic assortment and used in requests, RFQs and shares.
Can products be classified by AI?
Yes. An AI categorisation tool can help classify products at scale under administrator control. The administrator maintains the category taxonomy, and consistent categories improve search and comparison in requests and sourcing and let catalogues be assembled by assortment. Staff can still correct any proposed category.
Does Millisave feed prospecting from the catalogue?
Yes. Sales Engine lets the user pick products from the catalogue and finds the companies likely to buy them. The AI understanding of each product is saved for future searches, so a sales team does not describe the same products twice. That makes the catalogue the starting point of prospecting.
