The Once Setup tool is designed to make it very quick and easy to put your products and prices into Once.
The installation contains an example catalogue covering a range of industry products and fabrics. You can use this as a starting point or you can cut-and-paste your existing price and product data into Once Setup. We also have a broad range of supplier catalogues that you can easily import into your system.

You do not need all items you sell in the catalogue as you can manually enter details in the app. For products with price bands you can select a band so prices are automatically calculated or you can simply type in the selling price.

Get in touch with support if you would like any help at all with this, or to discuss what supplier catalogues we have available already.
