Introduction
ShowCato turns your product photos into an online catalog. You send it to buyers as a link, and their orders come back to you as ready-made quotations. No back and forth, no manual work.
Most B2B sellers still share their range the slow way: photo after photo on WhatsApp, a PDF price list, and then a long chat while the buyer types back product names, codes and quantities. After every message, someone prepares the quotation by hand.
ShowCato replaces all of that with one link. You add your products once, with their photos, prices, sizes and colours. Then you share any set of them with any buyer. The buyer picks what they want and taps Get Quotation; ShowCato works out the prices, discounts and GST and creates the quotation for you.
Whether you are a small shop sending your first catalog or a manufacturer with a sales team and hundreds of dealers, ShowCato grows with you. Start free with 1 GB of storage, then add team members, more businesses and paid add-ons only when you need them.

What is ShowCato?
ShowCato is a B2B digital product catalog and instant quotation software. It replaces the photos, PDFs and price lists you send buyers on WhatsApp today with one clean, private catalog link.
ShowCato in six points
Photos, prices, sizes, colours, SKUs and GST details, organised in categories and collections.
Each link has its own products, prices, discount and expiry time.
Buyers need no app, account or password. They tap the link and browse.
The buyer picks products and quantities. A PDF quotation with GST and totals is created in seconds.
Links expire, can be stopped at any time, and can ask buyers to verify who they are.
Analytics shows who opened your link, what they viewed and what they selected.
In one line: you share a catalog link, the buyer selects products, and ShowCato sends you a ready quotation.
Who is it for?
ShowCato is made for businesses that sell to other businesses: anyone who sends product photos and price lists to buyers and then writes quotations by hand. If your orders start with "send me your latest catalog", ShowCato is for you.
