Simplify Inventory Management with ACCEO Smart Vendor’s Smart Data Import (SDI)

The rapidly changing retail environment makes it more important than ever to keep an accurate and current inventory. That is why we at ACCEO Retail Solutions provide our retail clients with an efficient way to manage bulk data updates. The Smart Data Import module (SDI) empowers our clients to automate POS inventory updates with consistency and accuracy – no small feat when you consider that updating 4,000 SKUs across 30 stores usually takes three weeks.

 

What is Smart Data Import (SDI)?

Smart Data Import (SDI) is a powerful module of the ACCEO Smart Vendor POS software that lets users import mass amounts of information via Excel spreadsheets. Updating kinds of product details mentioned in the following list is a lot smarter and easier with SDI:

  • Prices
  • New items
  • Existing product details (modifications thereof)

Key Features of SDI

Import supplier-provided spreadsheets or internally edited Excel files to update product information such as pricing, descriptions, and other details (excluding stock quantities).

This capability is invaluable for:

  • Supplier Updates: Quickly apply price changes, introduce new product lines, or update catalogs provided by suppliers.
  • Internal Adjustments: Export data from Smart Vendor, make necessary edits in Excel, and re-import to apply wide-ranging changes efficiently.

Two Versions to Suit Your Needs

  • Standard SDI: Created for broad application across all types of retail, this version makes it easy to execute basic bulk updates.
    SDI Enterprise: Intended for environments at the head office, this version allows you to push updates to specific stores rather than across the entire chain.

 

SDI Enterprise offers features for controlling changes across multiple stores that don’t exist in the basic version.

Enhanced Data Accuracy

SDI greatly minimizes the mistakes that occur with manual entry by automating the import process, so now all your inventory data is accurate and consistent across all platforms.

With SDI, you eliminate the need for repetitive manual updates. You can make large-scale data modifications in a fraction of the time, and that means you free up resources for all kinds of other tasks that are also critical.

Benefits of Implementing SDI

Streamlined Processes: Simplify complicated inventory updates to make your operations more efficient.
Reduced Errors: Minimize the chance of human error connected with manual data entry.
Improved Data Consistency: Make sure that all your sales channels and locations have the same product information.
Scalability: Handle your inventory updates without breaking a sweat as your business expands.

 

Who Can Benefit from SDI?

SDI is ideal for:

  • Retailers looking to efficiently manage large inventories.
  • Businesses that frequently receive product updates from suppliers.
  • Multi-store operations requiring centralized control over inventory data.

“We were attracted to the flexibility of a several store/warehouse/head office system as well as SV being a local Canadian company in business for over 20 years. Over the past 10 years we found the database system to be user-friendly, useful and robust. We have also found support to be timely and helpful. We strongly recommend ACCEO Smart Vendor to any small business operations.”

My business partnership has been with ACCEO SV since August of 2017

“This is when we first opened. From day one they provided phenomenal service in regard to hardware, software, technical support, phone service and customer service. I have to say that the extra bit of spend for the on-demand customer support is well worth the purchase. If you have a question, they have the answer. For beginners and pros alike. Thank you for your service thus far and looking forward to a continued business partnership.”

In the short time we have been using the Smart Vendor/Purity Life EDI ordering process we’ve already saved hours.

“Receiving a Purity Life invoice now takes only a matter of minutes. Allowing smaller independent stores like ours to take that time saved and put it towards other projects is a great advantage. In addition to the time saved, it also reduced any ordering or receiving entry errors.”

— Tessa Davidson and Erin Copeland, The Stone Store
