Specification / Installation Instructions Sheets

Please provide us with the link to your product specification sheets and installation manuals for each model or SKU. If a direct link is not available, please send us electronic copies in PDF format.

Inventory Feeds

A huge asset to the showroom is knowing if your product is in stock and available for their customer – not only does this help sales conversions, but also cuts down on calls to your Customer Service. We can update your stock position as much as daily based on your inventory feed.

The file format, comma separated values file (.csv), should include on separate lines:

• Manufacturer Item number / SKU
• Inventory available (on hand less committed) – Must be a numerical value/integer (No alphabetical values)
• Expected due date for items that are not currently available (Short Date Format)
• Flag for Discontinued Items (This can be either Y or N for Discontinued yes or no, a discontinued date, or the notation DNR)

Column / Field Names: [SKU], [Quantity], [Next Available Date], [DNR]

File Delivery: The best delivery method is an FTP transfer to our server. We will provide the secure FTP location for transmission.

Time: Please provide files daily before 6:00am EST for best results.
