PDI Price Importer
Do you receive price lists from your suppliers with the current retail pricing?

Do you have to go through price lists and remove all the items that you do not sell, before importing?

Do you then have to create the Pastel import file layout to update your pricing?

If you answered Yes to any of the above questions, then PDI Price Importer is a product that should be on your desktop.

PDI Price Importer allows you to import prices from either a CSV or Excel spreadsheet. But, the best function is the ability to skip over products that you do not carry. Of course you can have PDI Price Importer validate the stock codes and abort the price import if any are missing.
