The buyer can add products from a merchandised linesheet, or shop from the search bar that allows you to search across all of the supplier's linesheets, or across multiple brands.

As the buyer adds products, they'll populate at the bottom of the grid view, and the buy planner can start attributing and capturing intent. We've built in the ability to add hashtags into each cell. Buying teams can come up with a list of hashtags to use ahead of market ie: for corporate marketing, buying strategy, etc. Hashtags are searchable and filterable.

Post Market

Teams are able to visualize their buy in our Tile view post market. From that view you can group your products by different fields ie: by month and filter by RP. This is also a good view to identify any gaps in your buy, and you can go ahead and add the products from this view, as well.

You can use our pivot table functionality in the grid view. Here you can open the columns section to pivot by any of the fields. For example by supplier by month and see the Total FLS $ and N.COM $.

Overview

The purpose of the Nordstrom-NuORDER Product Data Template is to collect the information you would typically be preparing for the Nordstrom IIF (Item Intent Form).

We've designed this template to be as intuitive and user friendly as possible,with reference tables and drop downs to streamline the process. Youll notice weve provided helpful notes throughout the template to aid in set up.

Helpful Tips

The more complete information you provide, the more seamlessly you will be able to interact with the Nordstrom buyers. There will be less follow up required to complete the fields post-market.

Overview

Nordstrom will be using NuORDER to take notes and create cross brand visual assortments. It's imperative to present your brand in the best light and the NuORDER team is here to support you as needed! Photos of product are highly recommended, however in the scenario that you only have mix of photos and CADS (or CADS only) in time for your first market appointment please supply us the CADS and we will start with this and re-upload / update photos as soon as you are ready.

NuORDER will allow you to store up to four images for each product. A product is defined as each colorway of a style. Below is an example of how images will appear in the product details pane:

Name Changer

Image Specifications

Supported image file types include JPG or PNG

Images must be a minimum of 500 x 500 px (pixels)

Optimize for web by following our recommended resolution of 72dpi (dots per inch)

Ideally, images should be compressed to the 100kb - 400kb (kilobytes) size range

Must save the images in the RGB color space

Image Naming Convention

In order for images to successfully link to your products, youll want to establish an image naming convention. Each component of the image name correlates to fields in your product data.

We recommend that your image file names include the following three components:

Style Number & Color - This enables the system to identify which unique product to choose.

Custom Suffix - This enables the system to identify the image position. For example, the hero position, or positions 2, 3, and 4.

Helpful Tips

Before getting started on your naming convention, if you'd like our input on what you should name your images, feel free to call:(310) 954-1313 x1049

The components of the image name must be separated by an underscore or hyphen so our system knows where the style number ends and the color begins

If you have hyphens within your style numbers or colors, use underscores as your dividers. Vice versa, if the components contain underscores

The components must be an exact match to what is in the product data. Exact match refers to the spelling and spacing - it is not case sensitive

If slashes exist in your style name or color, substitute space in the image file name.

To resize your images in bulk we recommend: Resize Sense (for Mac users), or Fast Stone Resizer (for PC users)

To rename your images in bulk we suggest:(for Mac users)

Please provide a supporting Linesheet so that our team can assist and ensure your images match to the correct products

Key Concept

Remember, consistency is key! The same image naming rules will apply to all images for all products. Meaning each image should utilize the same reference fields, set of custom suffixes, and component dividers.

Collections can be separated into multiple linesheets. They can be merchandised to reflect what you would traditionally share with the Nordstrom team.

Our existing brands load their product information that they have available before the appointments. Post-appointment you can cancel or drop styles after the meeting in NuORDER. You can then communicate with Nordstrom that there have been changes

If you need to make edits to a product, you can do this two ways.

Using your data:

1) Download you product data by heading to admin > data > product data

2) Under the download option, select the file you'd like to download. Each file contains the same data, however the data is displayed differently. You can select CSV or XLSX to download the file.

3) Once you download the file, you can make the changes needed to the data. Once you've made the changes, save the file and re-upload to the Upload box on the same page.

4) Once the file is successfully uploaded, you will receive a success message. Do not leave the page until the file loads and you receive a success or error message.

Helpful tips:

- When you are working in the excel file, pay close attention to the _id column and do not remove this column or switch the products it's assigned to. This column is assigned by NuORDER when you upload new products.

Through your Admin Product Gallery:

NuORDER has built the "Pages Manager" feature, which allows brands to mimic their branded e-commerce website. Brands can build out a branded experience for their wholesale buyers. If your brand has multiple departments or divisions, the pages manager is a great way to create a linkable homepage for each! Join us to get a walk through on how to set this up.

Some Topics That Will Be Covered:

- How to build a branded hompeage

- How the new pages manager works

- How to link multiple homepages

- Use case scenarios

DO NOTdelete an assortment using the trash can icon or the delete button. This will delete the assortment for the entire buying team.

DOask the owner of the assortment to remove you from the assortment under the 'Share' functionality. Only users with 'owner' access can remove you from the assortment. They are also the only users that can delete an assortment. Users with 'edit' and 'view only' access cannot delete an assortment.

Best practice is to limit the number of owners of the assortment to the buyer and buy planner.

Cloning

The Do's & Don't's:

Do use NuORDER's cloning feature to duplicate THE SAME EXACT item (same VPN, same color) within your assortment and assign it for a different delivery month.

The cloning feature should not be used as a work around for creating an SMU. Because it is tied to a specific product ID, any changes that the supplier makes to that product will flow through and override your edits to the product. If you want to copy the information from one product to another when creating an SMU, follow the steps below.

Copying & Pasting

NuORDER has built in excel-like functionality that allows you to copy and paste multiple cells. You're able to copy & paste any field in NuORDER including: units, month, hashtags, dropship indicator, notes, etc. You can also paste into NuORDER from excel.

SMU's:

If you're creating an SMU and would like to copy the information from an existing product, please follow the steps below.

Select the three dots in the upper right hand side of the screen

Select "Add SMU"

Go to the product you'd like to copy the data for

Select the cells you'd like to copy. Select 'CTRL'+'C' on the keyboard.

Select the cell you'd like to paste the information to. Select 'CTRL'+'V'
