Manually Adding Products

Manually adding products to Supply'd is easy, there is a number of options so it can be good to understand what they all are and their purpose. To add a product select "Products" from the menu, then click the "Add +" button in the top right-hand corner and follow the guidance below:

 

  • Brand [required] - Defines the brand or the manufacturer of the product. In the example above of Sungold Full Cream Milk 2lt,  the brand would be "Sungold". When typing in this field it will be suggestive of potential brands we already have in Supply'd, if the brand you're typing isn't in the list you would simply type it in the field without selecting an auto-select option.

  • Name [required] - Defines the product name. As the brand and size can be entered in alternative field you would enter it without the extra details. For example if you have a Sungold Full Cream Milk 2lt you would simply put the name as "Full Cream Milk".

  • Category [required] - Defines the category on your supplier profile that you would like this product to sit under. Supply'd is flexible with categories to allow you to define your own so you can group your products in any way you choose. For example, with our product Sungold Full Cream Milk 2lt, if you are a milk distributor you may opt to have a "Full Cream Milk" category, or if you sell lots of other products not just milk you may opt to have the category as simply "Milk".
