Clean product data makes every later step easier: faster checkout, accurate stock and reports you can trust. Spend time on it before you move.
Put it in one spreadsheet
Collect every product into a single sheet with one row per sellable item. Use columns for name, category, brand, unit, selling price, purchase price, barcode and current stock.
Standardize names
Pick one naming pattern, for example brand, product and size, and apply it to every row. Consistent names make search at the counter much faster.
Decide on categories and brands
Keep the category list short and meaningful. Categories and brands are also how cashiers browse products on the POS screen.
Check units
If you sell the same item by piece and by box, note the base unit and the conversion, so stock is always counted in one unit.
Verify barcodes
Remove duplicates and fill in missing codes. Items without a manufacturer barcode can get a printed label later.
Count opening stock
Count stock close to your go-live date, branch by branch, so your new system starts from accurate numbers.
When the list is ready, import it with the Excel or CSV template on the Import / Export screen; every row is checked before anything is saved. Need help? Get in touch.
