Updating Your Product Data

When Do You Need to Update Your Products?

Our Retailers rely on up-to-date, accurate, complete product digital details for marketing and selling items they purchase from you. Together, we request your aid in keeping this data updated.

New Product Releases

As you get wholesale orders for your new items, it’s important to have those items within the STN Data library. As soon as our member retailers being entering your SKUs in their POS systems, the automated match-up tools we use will determine that Toy Store ABC has Item XYZ from your line, and if Toy Store ABC has the item in stock, out systems will build the item in the store’s website – that is, if the item exists in our data library.

When Retailer Request It

If one of your wholesale accounts request products be updated or added to the STN Database system, it’s a liekly indicator that many of your accounts need the items added.

Check the Vendor Reports

Our Vendor Reports system will help you see, in near real time, what items are needed by our Retail Stores.

Improving Existing Items

If have new package designs or additional information to add to items, it a good time to update them in the STN Database.

"It's so much work!" We do understand that keeping your products up-to-date in he STN Database can take work, but please keep in mind the goal of this system is to REDUCE work across the whole chain of a products retail life: By creating quality item data once time within the STN Database, you effectively reduce the work each retailer needs to do to add that item to their website - this will usually reduce your work as well, as it's 'one-and-done' for hundreds of your wholesale clients.
