MerchantFace IMPORT
Import manufacturer price lists and catalogues without rebuilding them by hand
PDF, Excel, XLSX, CSV, images, references, barcodes and different structures. MerchantFace interprets manufacturer information and turns it into usable product data for creating, updating or comparing your catalogue.
✓ Different formats
✓ Reusable manufacturer data
✓ Review before applying changes
Every manufacturer works differently. Your catalogue should not have to.
The problem
The information exists. But it does not always arrive together or ready to use.
One price list may contain prices. Another file may contain barcodes. Images can be stored elsewhere. References change format and every manufacturer organises its columns differently.
XLS
Excel and XLSX
Different columns, multiple sheets, references, barcodes, prices and dispersed product data.
CSV
CSV
Files with different separators and structures depending on the manufacturer or distributor.
IMG
Separate images
Folders, links or repositories that need to be matched to each product.
REF
References
The same reference does not always identify the correct product on its own.
EAN
Barcodes
When available, they help connect the manufacturer, the product and the existing catalogue.
How it works
From a manufacturer document to usable product information

It is not just file import
MerchantFace interprets products.
The aim is not to copy Excel rows. It is to identify the product represented by each line, relate it to the available information and leave the data ready to be reused.
Identify. Match. Normalise. Complete.
