Banner Conversion

Your change to a new hardware vendor can be a simple one with ProfitMaster Canada's banner conversion process. ProfitMaster Canada works to ensure a seamless transition process for you and your store. A conversion specialist would be in touch with you prior to any updates being made to your system, in order to coordinate scheduling of the update, access to your system, manual backups and end-of-day routines. All work is performed after hours or during times when your staff is not using the system.

The Process Overview

The process of updating your inventory will occur in multiple stages. ProfitMaster Canada will perform all of these steps for you so that this can be completed in a timely manner:

1. Potential collisions are identified and corrected - items in your current system with the same product number as your new Vendor product number are identified and altered so there is no longer a conflict.
2. Matching items between your old vendor and new vendor are found by comparing the UPC's.
3. A file build for your new Vendor is added to your system. You can choose to either:
   1. Add the full Vendor catalogue to your system, or
   2. Add only the items that you carry (based on matching UPC's).
4. ‘Old' product is rolled into the ‘new' Vendor product numbers by:
   1. Creating an IUO (Product Number Change) table of matching items
   2. Running an IBO (Update Product Number Changes)
5. A discrepancy report is generated on any unit of measure set-up differences from the ‘old' to the ‘new' products. This report is provided to the store for manual updating.
