Importing

The CSV file import feature for contacts enhances customer and supplier management capabilities. This powerful tool allows you to establish a comprehensive database of customer and supplier information, simplifying the process of order dispatch. Instead of manually inputting customer details each time, you can effortlessly search for existing contacts and select them, boosting efficiency and accuracy during order fulfillment. The import feature further empowers you to bulk import customer details efficiently, saving valuable time and ensuring data consistency.

In the mapping tool, you can match the headers in your CSV file with the corresponding fields on our platform. It's crucial to ensure accurate mapping to guarantee the correctness of the imported data. If your file's headers align with our platform's expected headers, they will be automatically matched. 

Here is an empty file containing all the necessary headers to facilitate your customisation. Fill in the required details according to your specific needs.
