If you use your supplier’s inventory feed file to do your store updates you probably have found these problems:
- the feed file was not easily readable by a human (CSV, XML)
- each supplier's data feed has a different column order and contents
- the feed file contains all of the supplier's products so you have to search for your store’s products
It might be time to consider a complete, low cost solution.
The Supplier Inventory Report is a great way to keep track of all of your supplier’s inventory changes. Created daily from your supplier’s data we email you a report showing changes in their inventory. You specify which changes you want to see. Changes such as these can be shown on the report:
- new products for sale
- products removed from sale
- products that are now out of stock
- products that are now in stock
- changes in the cost, weight, MAP, MRP, MSRP
- changes in any of the fields of the data feed
You can read more about how the report is created HERE.
