Why build a Product Library in thesheet 

Sourcing products can take up over 40% of your project time. The time invested in finding the perfect pieces and networking with suppliers is invaluable. With thesheet Product Library, all that hard-earned information is right at your fingertips. Source a product once, and easily reuse it in your future projects.

Having your previous products organized in one place accelerates your future projects. For example, the coffee table that took two hours to find for Project A but wasn’t used, could be the perfect fit for Project B. Plus, all the specifications are already saved, making it easy to include in your spec sheet.

Building a product library means time saved on sourcing and creating spec sheets. All that’s left is to reconfirm pricing with your supplier and present the options to your client.

Adding products to your Product Library 

Note: Products must first be added to your library from active projects or via the Product Clipper.

How to add products from the Product Clipper to your library. 

The Product Clipper is the easiest way to add products directly to your Product Library. The Chrome extension lets you clip images and product details from supplier websites or PDFs.
