PPAI technology partner SAGE (PPAI 100001) announced several new features to its business management services during SAGE Conference – the largest online conference for the promotional products industry – on April 8.

  • New features are now live in SAGE Workplace, SAGE Websites and SAGE Stores


These updates enhance a broad range of business management tools, including catalog creation, product search, presentation building and website customization.

What SAGE Users Can Expect

In the Catalog Studio, where SAGE users can create customized digital and print catalogs, you can now add a sidebar menu in the digital format. The sidebar menu can display contact information, brand elements, calls to action, and other custom functionality.

The Presentation Wizard, rolled out as a new feature in the Presentations module back in January, also received updates. The feature itself, powered by SAGE AI technology, empowers users to enter pertinent information and allows the AI to create a custom presentation tailored to a specific customer.

  • The updates include the ability of AI to detect and apply price ranges and quantity from the prompts a distributor uses.
  • Additionally, users may filter products by their specific preference groups of suppliers.


SAGE Websites and SAGE Stores for distributors also received multiple updates, including new widgets for building custom webpages. Users may now include a product spotlight, featured tiles, a blog feed, a newsletter sign-up form, a content slider, testimonials and an accordion that reveals additional information when visitors click one of the drop-down arrows.

The AI-powered Image Generator for SAGE Websites and Stores has been upgraded and released as Version 2. SAGE says the new model works twice as fast and creates more realistic-looking images with file sizes that are 75% smaller.

Additionally, SAGE Websites and Stores now include a new favoriting feature, allowing users to easily save products for later. Visitors can simply log in and click the heart icon on any product to add it to their favorites collection, making it easier to revisit items of interest.

  • This information is also visible to the distributor, providing valuable insight into the products clients are engaging with most.
  • Thanks to the data offered by SAGE, distributors can now pull product ratings from the SAGE database to display with products on their website, helping customers know how others rated those products.
