The Beta Brief is a tool dedicated to products missing from our catalog or highly personalized items. It allows you to centralize your specific needs, benefit from technical advice, and submit your requests directly to your project manager.
1. Start a New Brief Beta
To start a Brief, first identify if the product already exists:
Go to the Catalog tab of your Kazaar interface.
Use the search bar to find your item.
If the product is not listed:
Click the "Create a Brief (Beta)" button that appears after your search.
Or click directly on the "Can't find your product?" link to open the creation window.
2. Express Your Needs
As soon as the request window opens, you are free to describe your requirements. You can enter text manually or copy and paste existing descriptions.
Two paths are then available to you:
Option A: Without AI (Direct Manual Entry)
If you already perfectly understand your technical needs:
Only fill in the "Complete your brief" space.
Send it directly by clicking the arrow.
Complete the information starting from Step 4 of this guide.
Option B: With AI (Conversational Agent)
If you wish to be guided to refine your product's characteristics:
In the "Complete your brief" space, specify your request in natural language.
Click the arrow to send your message to the assistant. The AI will then advise you on the best options for your project.
Technical Specifications: A window opens on the right of the screen. It allows you to detail the following points:
Measurements and formats.
Cut and print types.
Fastening systems.
Number of versions and desired quantities.
Note: You can fill in these fields as you go or leave them blank if the AI has already captured the info.
3. Identify the Beta Brief
Once the content of the brief suits you:
Click the "Add to order" button.
Identification: Choose a name for your product and a name for the overall order.
4. Finalize the Request
Before finalizing, specify the terms of receipt and production:
Delivery Information: Fill in the destination address fields. This allows the system to calculate an accurate estimation of logistical costs.
Stock Distribution: You can attach distribution files if your order needs to be dispatched to multiple sites according to your specific needs.
Version Management: Indicate the number of versions desired for your product. For each version, you have the possibility to upload your assets (source files, logos, visuals) directly.
Internal Reference (Optional): If you have a reference number or a specific project code, you can add it in the dedicated field.
5. Validate the Request
It is important to note that any request via the Beta Brief is processed "On demand."
Check your summary in the right panel.
Click the "Validate order" button.
A confirmation message is displayed: "Your request has been successfully submitted."
At this stage, you can click "Access detailed tracking" to view the immediate progress of your case.
6. Tracking and Collaboration with your PM
Your centralized dashboard allows you to manage all of your requests:
Brief Status: Each line indicates the real-time status (pending, validated, or being modified).
Modification Alerts: If your Project Manager (PM) requests details or makes adjustments, the changes will appear in orange for immediate visibility.
Direct Communication: By clicking on your request, you access a dedicated exchange space. To contact your PM, simply use the "Add a comment" field to send them a message directly linked to the project.
