““Reflecting on the unique advantages of print inspired us to make the digital version much more than a static PDF. Our goal was for it to feel just as tangible and intuitive to use as print, real, interactive, and engaging.” ”
By: Lee Tedesco, Marketing Director at Grabber Construction Products

The Challenge:

At Grabber Construction Products, we set out to create more than just a catalog — we needed a smart, accessible tool that gave contractors the information they rely on, in a format that’s both comprehensive and easy to use.

Contractors told us their priorities were clear: keep the jobsite stocked without delays, and make submittals quick and painless. That meant the catalog had to do more than list products — it had to become a true productivity partner.

From day one, we focused on three non-negotiables: readability, functionality, and usability. Every detail of the Fastener Solutions Catalog was designed around these principles, ensuring it could handle dense technical data while still being clear, engaging, and practical on the jobsite.

 

The Solution:

While we are happy with the print version of our Fasteners Solution Catalog, we knew that digital accessibility was equally important. 

When researching solutions, we noted that DCatalog’s platform offers a great option for Grabber. Our users are able to add bookmarks and annotate pages, run searches by keyword or item number, easily navigate between sections via the expandable, hyperlinked table of contents, and download individual pages. 

One of the most powerful features of the digital catalog is Stitchbook, DCatalog’s custom catalog technology. With over 284 pages in the full Fastener Solutions Catalog, we knew contractors wouldn’t always need the entire book for every job or submittal. Stitchbook solves that problem by letting users curate exactly what they need.

  • Tailored Editions in Minutes : Contractors can select only the sections or pages relevant to their project, and instantly generate a custom catalog that’s streamlined for their needs.

  • Easy Sharing & Submittals : Once built, these custom catalogs can be saved, downloaded, and shared directly with distributors, project managers, or submittal reviewers, eliminating the need to send bulky PDFs or physical books.

  • Efficiency & Professionalism :  What used to take hours of compiling, scanning, and formatting now takes just minutes. The end result is a polished, professional document branded with Grabber’s look and feel, ready to be used in bids or compliance processes.

  • Contractor-Centric Design: Whether they’re on-site, in the office, or working remotely, contractors can create as many variations as they need without losing the continuity of Grabber’s master catalog.

As a result, Stitchbook transformed the catalog from a static resource into a dynamic tool for productivity. It’s not just a reference — it’s a customizable, living document that adapts to every contractor’s workflow.

 

Results:

 

DCatalog’s Digital Catalog platform delivers everything contractors asked for — and more. It makes navigating dense reference data simple, clear, and efficient. Contractors can quickly stitch together only the pages they need from the full catalog to create custom versions for their own use, giving them flexibility without the complexity.
