Nobody likes data entry, so RepLink has made the process of getting product information into the database as simple and straightforward as possible. For suppliers just coming into the system, there are three ways to load product data into RepLink.
1. Use a direct data import: Most companies have a computer file containing core product and pricing information. Have the IT department download the file into an Excel template we provide. Then, email the information to us.
2. Do the data entry manually: You can enter core product information directly into the RepLink fields or, if it is more comfortable, enter data on an Excel spreadsheet and we’ll import it for you.
3. Have RepLink do the data entry: RepLink has data entry specialists that can enter data based on your catalog sheets, web sites, and price lists. We will be happy to provide estimates after reviewing the materials you would like us to use.
Once the core information has been imported or entered, we will carefully show you how the system works. Support is always available and it is free.
The RepLink data entry process is based on using a series of simple grids that display information in easy-to-understand groupings. For example, to review or edit prices, select the Field Group or collection called Pricing-All. This will display a grid showing the name and model number of all products currently in the database, plus all of the price levels used in the incentive market. (Retail, User, Jobber, etc)
RepLink also maintains Field Groups for product and carton dimensions, descriptions, a variety of sales policies, warranty information, and much more. While there is a total of over 400 fields, most of them only need to be entered once and then are automatically applied to all items in the database.
Once information has been entered, it is easy to go online to make changes and updates as required. Changes are then automatically made available to reps and selected customers.
