Smart Product Updates for Epos Now
Manually updating products one by one, or exporting to spreadsheets and re-importing, is slow and prone to mistakes. With Flow, you just tell it which products to target — by supplier, brand, category, or even product data like price — and apply the updates in one go. No cluttered spreadsheets, no manual slog, just clean, accurate updates in bulk.


Keeping product data up to date in Epos Now is vital — but it’s often slow and messy:
- Staff spend hours clicking through products one by one to change prices or categories.
- Spreadsheet imports are fiddly and risky — one wrong column can cause major errors.
- Out-of-date or inconsistent product info leads to confusion at the till.
- Promotions, supplier changes, or seasonal price adjustments often get delayed because updates take too long.
- Mistakes in bulk uploads can overwrite correct data, creating more problems than they solve.
Bulk updates with pinpoint accuracy — no spreadsheets required.
Flow makes product updates simple. Instead of editing items manually or wrestling with spreadsheets, you set the rules and Flow does the rest. Target products by supplier, brand, category, or even product fields like price — and apply updates in one safe, automated run. Use our simulation mode to make sure all looks good before running the live update.
