Manufacturer and range — who makes it, not just who you buy it from

What does this do?

Supplier is who you buy from — often a wholesaler. Manufacturer is who actually makes it, and range is the collection. Recording all three means the till can find a product by brand, and anything that needs to know what the product IS — product imagery, a visualiser, a supplier feed — has something to go on.

How to use it

  1. Open Products and add or edit a product.
  2. Supplier is who you buy it from — Likewise Floors, R&M Wholesale, your local distributor.
  3. Manufacturer is who makes it — Cormar Carpets, Abingdon Flooring, Karndean. Start typing and the till suggests makers you have used before.
  4. Range is the collection — Primo Ultra, Sensation Original, Camaro. Same suggestions.
  5. Save. The product list and the sale screen now show the maker and range instead of only the supplier.
  6. Search finds them too, so *“have you got any Cormar?”* is answerable at the counter.

Set the manufacturer and range on many products at once

Products added before manufacturer and range existed have neither. Rather than editing them one at a time, filter the list down to the ones you want and set both in one go.

Products, Suppliers & Price Lists

Import a supplier price list

Drop a supplier's price list on the till and it turns into products. Tidy Excel or CSV files are read instantly and free; PDFs, photos and scanned brochures are read by AI page by page. Nothing is saved until you review and confirm the preview.

Add or edit a product

Products are what the till sells. Add each one with its supplier, cost and margins and it appears in the product search on the till, on quotes and in stock. Edit it any time from the Product database.

Add colours or decors to a product

Supplier price lists price the range, not the shade. When you hold one product in several colours, list them on the product and the till counts each colour separately, asks which one arrived on a delivery and which one was sold.

Export and import products as a CSV

Export gives you the whole catalogue as a CSV to open in Excel. Import brings a CSV back in through the same preview as a price list, so you can update many products in one go.

Manage your suppliers

The Suppliers screen is built from your product list: one row per supplier with a product count and average retail margin. From here you can reprice a whole supplier at once or delete one.
