• Use TradeTrust dashboards and bulk spreadsheet templates to upload catalogue data efficiently.
• Review product descriptions, specifications, compositions, prices, and commercial rules for completeness and accuracy before publication.
• Maintain clear records of missing information and follow up with manufacturers until each assigned catalogue is launch-ready.
