What is Toolset?

Toolset, from the makers of WPML, adds custom post types, custom fields, relationships between content and front-end listings and searches, configured in the admin rather than coded.

It sits in the same space as ACF with a views layer on top, for sites with structured content such as directories and catalogues.
