Top benefits of using Sales Layer
for Thomasnet

Publish Thomasnet ready files fast

With Sales Layer, one catalog powers every Thomasnet update, producing CSV or Excel files the moment products change. Map fields a single time to match the Catalog Manager Batch format, and uploading takes just a few clicks. Export views can be saved per brand or family, complete with links to images and PDFs that buyers expect. Automate daily or weekly runs so new SKUs, specification edits, or price adjustments arrive on schedule, reducing errors and accelerating launches.

Meet buyer expectations on Thomasnet

Provide buyers with the level of detail Thomasnet requires. The Quality Score highlights missing fields before export and prevents publishing until specifications are complete. Images, spec sheets, and manuals can be added so items display, sort, and filter correctly. Define mandatory fields by category to ensure nothing is missed during export. Cleaner data strengthens RFIs and minimizes back-and-forth with the Thomasnet team.

Win search and filters on Thomasnet

Model product families and variants in Sales Layer to reflect how buyers search. Parent and child items can be defined with required attributes, while units and names stay consistent across the catalog. Export the precise columns Thomasnet indexes, such as size, material, finish, voltage, or rating, so products appear in the right categories and compare accurately. Buyers locate items faster, RFIs are more precise, and your team reduces time spent fixing misclassified SKUs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we publish only part of the catalog to Thomasnet?

Yes. Create a Thomas channel in Sales Layer, tag the SKUs you want, and export by filter such as brand, family, or status. You keep one catalog, but control exactly what goes to Thomasnet.

Do we need developers to get started?

No. In Sales Layer you add a Thomasnet channel, upload the Thomasnet template, and map fields in the UI. Set required field rules, save the export view, and run a CSV or XLSX on your schedule. Sales Layer is built for non-technical teams with an easy UI, so marketing can own the setup without developer support.

What happens when Thomas changes fields or taxonomy?

Update the mapping table in Sales Layer, run a pre-publish check, and use Quality Reports to spot gaps. If the import report flags issues, you jump straight to the affected records in Sales Layer, fix once, and re-export.

How do variants and families publish to Thomasnet?

Model a parent with shared fields in Sales Layer, then add variants for size, finish, material, etc. The export includes parent and child links plus the spec columns Thomasnet expects. On Stage, check that items group under the parent and compare cleanly. Fix in the PIM and re-export if something looks off.

Can we localize content and units?

Yes. Store translations and unit conversions in Sales Layer. Build a Thomasnet export view per language or region if needed. Align units and attribute names with the category so filters work as buyers expect.
