Order hundreds of tags from the spreadsheet you already have

Bulk order reads your tag list in whatever layout it is in, works out the text, size, colour and quantity columns, and shows you everything before it is added.

In short
  • Press Bulk order in the builder and choose your .xlsx, .xls or .csv file.
  • One row per tag, columns in any order, your own headings. No template needed.
  • You see every tag before it is added, then check it in the preview and send the order for a quote and proofs.

Big jobs come with big tag lists: an MCC lineup, a new building's panels, a valve chart. Those lists already live in a spreadsheet, usually laid out the way the engineer or the foreman likes. Bulk order takes that file as it is.
