All product data you want to make available to Dustin must be presented in an Excel file. Download the Dustin Template to start with. 

This standard Excel file contains predefined headers bar with cells in two different colors;

• Yellow for the mandatory columns;
• Blue for the optional columns. 

Column guidelines

Each column comes with specific restriction and requirements for the data being added. An overview of all restrictions and requirements can be found in the Dustin Template column guidelines. 

Column L needs the Buyer (GLN) number of the Dustin entity to which you are going to make your product data available.

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.
