Example with sample data

Typical challenges

  • Three supplier lists with different structures: CSV, Excel and PDF, each with a different column order

    Every supplier delivers differently

    Excel, CSV, PDF or BMEcat: the mapping has to be created anew for every file.

  • A table with a renamed column, where the import fails

    Formats change without notice

    A renamed column is enough and the import fails.

  • Price and stock in the price list differ from the current state in the warehouse

    Prices and stock levels become outdated

    Without regular updates, the information in the shop is no longer correct.

Frequently asked questions

Are the prices binding?

The prices on this page are an initial estimate. The written offer after clarifying your suppliers and article numbers is binding.

Can’t I build the data preparation myself with AI?

Producing a single file is rarely the problem. The daily process is: the run has to arrive, prices and stock levels have to be correct, and when a supplier changes its format someone has to react. We take care of that, with a first response within 48 hours on working days.

What happens when the supplier changes its format?

The package includes the response up to 2 hours per quarter and supplier. Larger changes run through your change hours or a fixed-price offer.

How long am I committed?

With monthly payment at least 3 months, then 4 weeks’ notice to the end of the month. With annual payment one year with 1 month’s notice to the end of the year. Changes to the package, the scope or the payment period apply from the end of the current period.

Can I first have it checked what the takeover costs?

Yes. The supplier data check costs from EUR 290 net and is credited at 100 % if you order within 60 days.

What about manufacturers and catalogs?

For manufacturers with BMEcat catalogs there is the catalog service with a validation report before every data delivery.

Is VAT added?

All prices are net, plus statutory VAT.
