Top benefits of using Sales Layer
for Fastenal

Keep one product truth for Fastenal

Run a clean product model in Sales Layer for every Fastenal listing. Keep SKUs, variants, specs, media, and PDFs in one place with Quality Score, workflows, and version history. Map Fastenal once, create a saved view, and republish in minutes after approvals. Teams stop rebuilding spreadsheets, cut listing rework, and keep titles, units, and attributes consistent across families and categories. Approvals move faster and errors drop.

Accelerate localization for global buyers

Publish Fastenal-ready content in the languages your buyers use. Names, descriptions, attributes, and labels live per language at the SKU level, with locale-aware units and decimals that keep specs consistent. Store regional PDFs like SDS or CE with each item and reuse them easily. Build language packs and schedule updates, so teams stop copy-pasting and buyers see clean terms in search, filters, and RFQs.

Win visibility and deals with PunchOut-ready data

Earn more space in buyer-approved catalogs with richer specs, clean units, and complete assets. Use the same product model to power PunchOut Level 1, Level 2, and Hosted files. Launch PunchOut in about two weeks when data is clean, often sooner when it is ready. Better data improves ranking on Fastenal, speeds category approvals, and turns exposure into more quotes and closed lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can our team launch this without developers?

Yes. Create a Fastenal channel in the Sales Layer UI, map the required fields, and save the view. Quality Score flags missing data before you publish. The UI is built for non-technical teams, so marketing can own the setup without developer support.

How are images, PDFs, SDS, and other compliance docs delivered?

Store assets the SKU level in Sales Layer. Include image galleries and file URLs in the export so Fastenal can ingest them. Attach regional PDFs like SDS, CE, or instructions to each item. Version history and Quality Score help keep documents current and complete.

What happens when Fastenal updates required fields or templates?

Update the mapping in your saved view and run a pre-publish check. Review missing attributes, units, or categories. If validation flags issues, click through to the affected records, fix once, and re-export. Versioned views keep a clear audit trail.

Can we publish only part of the catalog to Fastenal?

Yes. Create a channel view and filter by brand, family, category, or custom eligibility flags. Use Ready status to include only approved SKUs. Preview the file before sending and schedule exports for selected sets. Unready items stay out until they pass checks.

I do not have a PunchOut-ready catalog. Can Sales Layer help?

Yes. Publish PunchOut catalogs in Level 1, Level 2, or Hosted formats from Sales Layer without IT support. Once product data sits in the PIM, ready connectors let you configure the buyer format, test, and launch in less than two weeks, even faster when data is clean. Marketing can run the setup, schedule refreshes, and keep content current. This meets enterprise buyer requirements and helps you become a preferred supplier.
