      Supplier interfaces

      Here you can find out which options you have to connect your suppliers to FoodNotify.

      Requirements

      In order for a supplier to be connected to FoodNotify, the first requirement is that you are already a delivery customer of the respective supplier.

      FoodNotify XLS

      If the article assortment and the price data, allergens and additives change only very rarely, the manual import is suitable. When uploading these files, FoodNotify supports Excel and CSV formats.

      We recommend writing directly to the supplier and sending the instructions and the Excel template. The supplier can then enter the required data set in the Excel template and send it back to you.

      You can find out how to upload the data in the system here.
