The Import Application is a program that is essential to any online business. It allows you to make bulk changes to your products and inventory. The application itself can add new products to the inventory, along with the product’s attributes. Combined with the Export Application, Imports takes information from the exported Excel spreadsheet, matches the content with items in your inventory, and updates content based on modifications made on the spreadsheets. Any changes to the product (i.e. name, description, price, etc.) will automatically be updated on the website through the Import Application.
The application changes product information in your inventory in bulk, saving you countless hours of manual work. After exporting your products and making changes in Excel using the Export Application, you can import them back into your system with this product. Each product and brand has its own unique ID code, allowing the system to go through each product and apply all new changes to your system based on information provided by the Excel Spreadsheet. The Import Application is a crucial, time-saving program that automates the process of updating your inventory.
The Import Application can also work as a stand-alone application. It can update existing data, add new products to your inventory, move products into multiple categories (i.e. ice machines and clearance section), and you can import attributes (i.e. colors, weight, etc.). However, you must first determine the product type in order to add the specifications.
The Import Application is a unique product because of its tight integration with applications such as Exports, Inventory, Manufacturers, and Types. This integration creates a network that increases efficiency by automating the process of updating your inventory.
