Our software can accept feeds from automotive dealer management systems, John Deere’s MachineFinder.com and numerous other equipment management systems. While the majority of the feeds are seamless and take little effort on the publisher’s part to maintain, there are exceptions. Because of these exceptions, we have developed this new feature that allows a business to load their items using a CSV file. This solution will be very beneficial not just for equipment dealers, but any type of business that needs to load items to our marketplace.
The initial upload of the CSV file walks the user through a couple of steps. The user first identifies the column that contains the category and then matches each columns’ content to our classified ad website’s fields. The time to upload the initial file is dependent on the number of categories you have to match from the CSV file to your system. The matching normally takes less than 15 minutes for the first upload. The column matching process is unique for each dealer and our software will remember the category and the type of column contents for future uploads for that dealer.
Sometimes dealers’ CSV files will contain new categories that have not been matched in previous uploads. The system recognizes the new categories and prompts the dealer to match the new categories. Moving forward, the system will retain those matches which allows for faster uploading down the road for the dealer.
This feature benefits both dealers and classified ad website owners. It allows any type of business to efficiently upload their items to your website and provides a simple way to grow the content of your website. This tool will become one of our most important and popular features.
