Inventory & Price Book
Product importer
Bulk-import supplier catalogs and price lists into your price book without spreadsheet gymnastics.
Overview
Loading a new supplier's catalog usually means a day of copy-paste, column mapping, and broken formulas in Excel. Thorbis is building an importer that ingests supplier files and large product lists, maps the columns for you, and validates the data before it lands. You'll stand up a full price book in minutes and refresh it when suppliers send updates.
What we're building
Loading a new supplier's catalog usually means a day of copy-paste, hand-mapping columns, and formulas that break halfway through. By the time the price book is loaded it may already be out of date, and refreshing it means doing the whole thing again.
Thorbis is building an importer that ingests supplier files and large product lists, auto-maps the columns to your price-book fields, and validates and dedupes the data before it lands. You preview the changes before committing, stand up a full price book in minutes, and re-import to update existing items in place when a supplier sends an update. It is built for shops that need their catalog current without living in a spreadsheet.
