Importing Bulk Food Distributor Data into Your POS: Costs, Ingredients and Nutrition Facts

Bulk food stores carry hundreds of items whose costs, and sometimes packaging, change throughout the year. Keeping costs, ingredients and nutrition information up to date by hand takes hours and invites mistakes. With bulk food POS integration, distributor data flows straight into your item records.

What StoreLIVE! imports

StoreLIVE! can import product information from bulk food distributors such as Dutch Valley Food Distributors and Walnut Creek Foods. That includes order details with costs, ingredients and nutrition facts.

Why it matters

• Less typing when new items arrive

• Current costs, so your margins stay accurate

• Ingredient and nutrition details kept with each item in one database

• Fewer pricing errors at the register

Reconcile invoices against what you received

Vendor management features help you reconcile invoices and send vendor bills to QuickBooks automatically, so your accounting matches what came off the truck.

Updating items from other vendors

For vendors without a direct import, you can bring in product data using Excel templates. Our support team can help you format the file.
