Your catalog, under control — with or without your vendors.
Tired of waiting on manufacturers? Bring in the spreadsheets they already email you, manage one clean catalog by vendor and category, and feed your ERP, website, and store from it. When a vendor joins TrueSpec, their updates start flowing in live — no re-keying.
You don't have to wait for your vendors
Most manufacturers still email a spreadsheet. Import it — CSV, Excel, even a PDF line card, or a Shopify/WooCommerce store — and TrueSpec maps the columns, validates every row, and updates in place when you upload the next version, so revisions never pile up as duplicates.
Manage one catalog by vendor and category
Browse and organize everything you carry from a single dashboard: filter by vendor (brand) and category, fix specs, set images, archive what you've dropped. Your hand edits stick around through the next spreadsheet a vendor sends — TrueSpec tracks who changed what.
Feed your ERP, website, and store
Point your systems at one REST API under /v1/ with incremental sync — an updated_since filter plus ETag and Last-Modified headers — so your storefront, ERP, or estimating tool pulls current data and only what changed. Look products up by your own SKU via cross-reference.
When your vendors join, it only gets easier
As manufacturers publish to TrueSpec, their catalogs merge into the same feed live — across every brand you carry, under one API key — so new colors, discontinued items, and revised specs arrive without anyone re-keying them. The work you did managing your own catalog carries straight over.
How distributors & retailers use TrueSpec
- Import the spreadsheets you already get — Upload each vendor's CSV, Excel, or PDF; map the columns once and TrueSpec remembers the mapping for next time.
- Manage by vendor and category — Clean, organize, and add images in one dashboard; your edits survive the next upload.
- Feed your ERP and website — Point your systems at one API key — they pull live data and sync only what changed since last time.
- Layer in live vendor feeds — When a manufacturer joins TrueSpec, their catalog merges into the same feed automatically.
