Help & FAQ

Last updated May 19, 2026

Getting started

  1. Sign in at app.tropixoperations.com/login using your email — Supabase will email a magic link.
  2. On first sign-in, TROPIX creates your workspace automatically (FREE plan).
  3. Visit /app/upload and either drop a CSV/XLSX file or click Load demo data / download the large sample.
  4. Map your columns to TROPIX fields — most are auto-mapped from common ERP / POS exports.
  5. Click Validate data, then Run diagnostic. Numbers populate every module: Dashboard, Demand, Replenishment, Suppliers, Locations, Distribution, Markdowns, Assortment, Financial Planning, etc.

File format

Required columns

  • sku — unique product code (combine with location for multi-location uploads).

  • qty_on_hand — current inventory in units.
  • unit_cost — your cost per unit.

Sales (one of these is required)

  • Monthly columns: jan_sales through dec_sales.

Recommended optional columns

Interpreting the action priority

  • P1 — Do now. Active stockout risk or high-value deadstock.
  • P2 — Do this week. Material excess or supplier constraint.
  • P3 — Plan this month. Moderate excess.
  • P4 — Monitor. Watching but no urgent move.
