If you already have a database-driven web site, then your
entire inventory can be uploaded to eRepairables.com automatically on
a scheduled basis. Simply make your data available as a delimited text
file on your web site and provide us the URL. Our system does the rest.
Have your webmaster see the instruction below for data
file format, or contact us for further
instructions.
The data format for the data import is a deliminated ascii
text file. The delimiter to seperate fields is the pipe | symbol.
Each vehicle will have all of it's data on one line.
No html code will be allowed.
Any line in your data that does not have the | symbol, will be
ignored.
