This guide walks you through the essential steps to get your AMP catalog up and running. From setting up your database and organizing products to enabling reps and buyers to start writing orders, we’ll cover everything you need to know.
1. Creating Your Catalog
To start, you'll need to build the foundation of your catalog by adding company information, uploading product data, and adding product images.
1.1 Updating Company Profile
Ensure that your company profile is fully updated with the latest contact details, company logo, and other relevant information. This is the first step in personalizing your catalog.
1.2 Uploading Product Table
Import your product catalog by uploading the product table (usually in CSV format). This table should include product names, descriptions, pricing, SKUs, and any other relevant attributes.
1.3 Uploading Photos
Upload high-quality product images to represent your items in the catalog. Images should be clear and accurately represent the product.
2. Customizing Your Catalog
Once your catalog is set up, you can customize it to meet your specific needs. This includes matching images to the right products and sorting your catalog for better organization.
2.1 Matching Photos
Ensure that each product in your table has the correct image associated with it. This step is essential for presenting your products effectively in the catalog.
2.2 Creating and Sorting Your Catalog
You can now arrange your products into categories or collections, making it easier for reps and buyers to navigate. Sorting products by category, price, or best sellers can improve the user experience.
3. Adding Users
To enable your team to interact with the catalog, you'll need to upload and assign users, including your sales reps and buyers.
3.1 Uploading Reps
Add your sales representatives to the system by uploading a list of their details. This will allow them to access the catalog and start placing orders for their assigned customers.
3.2 Uploading Customers
Import your customer list to ensure that your reps can easily assign clients to specific salespeople and track orders effectively.
3.3 Assigning Reps to Customers
Link sales reps to their respective customers to ensure they can view and manage orders for the right accounts.
3.4 Inviting Buyers
Send invitations to buyers to give them access to the catalog and enable them to place orders. Buyers will receive a login to view products and start purchasing directly.
4. Getting Your Catalog into the Hands of Reps and Buyers
Once your catalog is set up and your users are uploaded, you're ready to get your catalog into the hands of your reps and buyers. Ensure that each user has the proper access and permissions, and guide them through the process of navigating the catalog and placing orders.
