Purpose
The purpose of this article is to outline the Product Bundles feature, which allows operators to group multiple products into a single planogram selection. This is primarily used for fresh food items (like sandwiches) that rotate daily but occupy the same physical space in a cooler.
- Product Bundles act as a container for multiple individual products. Instead of updating your planogram every time you restock with a new item of a established bundle, any product inside that bundle can be scanned and sold from that location.
- Please Note: This feature must be enabled under Company Settings before it will be available at Markets. Once this feature is enabled, it cannot be turned off.
