I really want to buy this mod, just need some detailed explanations if anyone is willing!
Thanks so much.
Best,

It has very powerfull and
flexible importing tool.
You can import simple lists via standard impot, but when it comes to large lists, I mean REAL LARGE (100 000+ records) lists - windows apps will always have advantages.
Simple examples, you can automatically set field value based on expression during import (like convert currency, increase/decrease price etc).
Even more - for complicated data lists - there is "Automated Import" plugin, i.e. you will configure import rules once and next time when you import - you will just use the configuration you created.
It can run based on schedule, importing data from your supplier every X days etc.
Even more
Product Management
We have Mass Changer plugin - you can change ALL/MASS prices in your store by multiple criteria, say increase by 15% before Christmass adn then decrease by 10% 3 weeks after or for products costing more then $100 decrease price by $5.
You can move 1 000 products from 1 category to other with mouse in seconds (using drag-and-drop)
you can assign 10 000 products to more then 1 category in seconds
you can select multiple custom products and delete them with few seconds
you can assign 10 attributes (for ex. colors, sizes etc) to 10 000 products in seconds
Export
You can export into Excel all products starting with letter "A", from oen of 3 particular categories, priced between $10 and $30, which are in stock and....
I hope you understood
Very flexible reporting
You can design custom reports inside the tool and store it for future usage.
You can do this yourself or hire developer who will do this
in minutes using visual report/query builder
you can....
well - there are whole bunch of things you can do with this tool and we are working on even more advanced tools
Plan to have basic
Busines Intelligence tools added soon.
Such tools are available for shopping carts starting at $10k - $50k +
such services cost like few thousands for single session...
We don't have detailed documentation for it, but we are working on it.
As conclusion
I belive it is
better to spend 1 hour once learning the tool and then save 1 hour every day then spend 30 minutes every day doing tedious tasks again and again.
