CAP Catalog Import & Price Update Filters

Did you know that many suppliers and manufacturers have their complete catalog in a data file as well as in printed form? This file usually has the Description, Stock Number, Price, Cost, and other necessary information about each of their thousands of items.

You can get this valuable information by modem or on disk. CAP Automation can develop a 'filter' to import this data from the catalog into our software in the correct order.

As an added bonus, filters can keep prices current, flag discontinued items, add new items and set promotional prices when the supplier publishes a new catalog on disk.

Catalog filters obviously save a lot of time and effort but also guarantee near perfect accuracy in getting your inventory ready to sell. You can even use a portable data collector to get the quantities on hand correct!
