Being able to upload numerous excel sheets with same category names and different items and not having your previous categorized items overr
I work for local discount grocery store that deals with at least nine different vendors if not more sometimes. While I have never worked with any pos systems before I have found that clover is pretty user friendly but I have found a huge halt in the way I would like to be able to use it. They have A LOT of products and are wanting to use this system to go from a "key each item in" register to a "scanning barcodes" register, which is great, but leaves me with the task to input ALL product inventory information into excels and then upload them onto clover. Using the downloaded template is flawless and a breeze to navigate, the MAJOR issue I ran into is....I have 10 different excel sheets for one vendor (had to break down all info to make more manageable), within those excel sheets I have 19 categories (I made a template to save from so all were worded specifically the same), I uploaded all 10 sheets yesterday, super excited about making progress for them only to see what hardly any of my items were in any categories! I contacted the chat service this morning after I tried a few different things on my own, and they informed me that any newly uploaded excel overrides the previous when it comes to the categorizing of items. I have 760 items just for this vendor and do not have the time to go back through each item individually to assign it to a category. I was informed by chat service that I would have to mass compile all items into one excel with the categories and upload it all at once to be sure that all items will stay categorized. I have A LOT more products to enter, again this is only one vendor of nine! If there is anyway around this flaw that would be amazing, if not I HIGHLY recommend your engineering department looks into being able to upload multiple excels, with the same category names, with different items per sheet, and having all items stay categorized. It would be an extreme help for someone like me dealing with VAST data input.
