These can be time consuming and laborious especially if you are keying information manually or need IT support to extract the data you need.
Retail Connect provides a set of user-friendly built-in tools to import, export and modify bulk data using files rather than manual data entry. It’s designed to save you time and improve accuracy, and you can even set recurring tasks to run automatically to further streamline processes and productivity.
