Geodesic Solutions

The Bulk Uploader Add On allows you, as the site administrator, to upload mass quantities of classified ads or auctions on a category by category basis for each user in your GeoProducts database. All your client needs to do is send you an excel spreadsheet (or .csv document) of their inventory. You then save this document as a .csv file in preparation for the upload.

Once installed, the Bulk Uploader has its own series of admin pages which walk you through the upload process in an easy to follow, step-by-step format. If you make a mistake with the upload, or simply need to cancel and reupload a new spreadsheet every couple of days, no problem. The bulk uploader maintains a history of recent uploads and allows you to simply "undo" an upload. All classified or auctions created by that upload are automatically removed from your site.

Recommended Uses
There are many reasons why our customers choose to use the Bulk Uploader Add On. Here are just a few:

• Realty agents can upload MLS data for property classifieds. The bulk uploader's "undo" feature allows you to "undo" a previous upload and then re-upload a new spreadsheet of data. This is especially important since MLS data changes on a frequent basis.
• Automobile site owners can upload each dealer's inventory quickly and accurately. The dealer can then log in and remove their inventory as it is sold. Or, they can have the site administrator "undo" a previous inventory upload and then re-upload an updated inventory spreadsheet.
• Any upload type that requires 10, 100, 1000 or more classified ad or auction entries.
