On this page we explain how you upload and manage your product data with the Product Manager so that it becomes available to your buyers via the Trading Partner Network.

You can use your own product data file, as explained below, or the Onetrail template.



Step 1: Create your own product data file

All product data you want to make available to your customers must be presented in an Excel or CSV file. 

Product data file guidelines

  1. The maximum amount of products in the file may not exceed 20.000 items.

  2. We apply a maximum file size. Please make sure your file size does not exceed the 2.5 MB.

  3. We only support the file formats Excel (.xlsx) and CSV (.csv)

  4. When you are using a CSV file your file needs to have an exclusive separator. For example, you use a comma as a separator, then you can’t use comma’s in your product descriptions.

  5. Your file must contain at least the following mandatory fields and each column comes with specific restriction and requirements for the data being added:

Step 3:  Matching columns






Step 2: Test your file

When we receive your product data file, we will test and check it in various ways to guarantee that your data is entered correctly into our system.

We will contact you when we discover errors or missing data in your file.

When your file passed the test, we proceed to step 3. 



Step 3: Share your file

Now that your product data file is approved, we need to automate the daily processing of your file. 

We will provide you by email our Onetrail Server Location details. An daily updated version of your product data file must be provided on this server location. Onetrail will schedule a daily automated pick up of your product data file on this location. 

When this daily data sharing works, we will give Dustin a heads up. 



Step 4: Activate your connection 

After our heads up, Dustin will check that they are correctly receiving your product data via Onetrail into their IT-systems.

When this is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation from us by email that your Product Manager + sFTP connection for Dustin is officially up and running!

Dustin will let you know when your old product data sharing connection can be discontinued. 



Step 5: Update, monitor and maintain your connection


Provide a daily update

Dustin demands up to date product data from all suppliers. To comply with this, you need to provide a daily update of your product data file to our server location.


Upload Report

Onetrail monitors your product data flow and will let you know with an Upload Report when any irregularities occur.

This alert is sent by email to your technical contact person.
