What's a Good Way to Manage a Product Catalog With Hundreds of SKUs?
A good way is to store every product as a record in a structured table, with fields for category, variant, cost, price, and status, so the catalog can be filtered and updated in bulk. On Jestor, this runs through a product table with views for each team.
A catalog kept in loose files grows messy fast. Variants get duplicated, prices drift between versions, and nobody is sure which file is current.
What a messy catalog costs
- Wrong prices or descriptions reaching customers
- Duplicate SKUs that confuse stock and reporting
- Time spent hunting for the latest catalog file
- Slow onboarding for new team members
How a structured catalog works
- Each product is a record with fields for category, variant, cost, and price
- Related tables link products to suppliers and orders
- Views filter the catalog by category, status, or margin
- Changes are made once and seen by everyone
Why Jestor fits this use case
- One source of truth ends the problem of conflicting versions
- Filters make a large catalog easy to browse and audit
- Links to suppliers and orders keep related data connected
- This scales from hundreds to thousands of products
