Item setup that's accepted the first time.
We prepare, check and submit your product data for AAFES PIM, so your styles get item codes and your orders ship on schedule.

How it works
A rejected or late item file costs you the ship window. Our process is built so the first file we submit is the right one.
Send your data as it is
A system export, line sheet, spreadsheet or feed. No reformatting on your side.
Every field is checked against the exchange's rules
Our tools map your columns to the current PIM template and test every value: barcodes, required fields, dropdown lists, pricing and images.
A person reviews every exception
Anything the software can't prove is correct goes to a reviewer. Questions only you can answer come back to you in one list, not a stream of emails.
You receive a ready file and a validation report
We load the items into PIM, or hand you the finished template. Item data can go in first, with photos added when they arrive.
What we check on every file
Barcodes
Check digits, lost leading zeros, and spreadsheet damage such as “.0” endings.
Required fields
Every mandatory attribute for the item's category is present and in the right format.
Dropdown values
Colors, sizes, materials and units matched to the exact values PIM accepts.
Pricing rules
MSRP is at or above unit retail, and prices are clean numbers.
Category attributes
Only attributes that belong to the item's category are sent, so none are rejected.
Product images
2000 × 2000 pixel JPEGs, named and matched to the right item before the upload window opens.
How we work with you
Start small
We begin with one small file so you can judge the results before committing to more.
Clear pricing
Quoted after a short call about your volume and deadlines. No long-term contract required.
Your data stays yours
Used only for your submissions and deleted on request. We're glad to sign an NDA.

Item setup is detail work with hard deadlines. We treat it as an engineering problem: software catches what it can, and a person reviews the rest before anything is submitted.
