Winner is delivered without any pre-installed catalogs. To see a searchable catalog list showing which catalogs are available please go to our website https://www.compusoftgroup.com.
Once you have decided which catalogs you would like adding to your account, request them via the customer portal, you will then be notified by Support when they have been added. For more information see How to request a catalog
Note: Some catalogs need permission from the manufacturer before being added to your account.
To add catalogs to the Winner software you need to download them. To install catalogs and software updates for Winner, please watch the video or follow the instructions below.
- At Project level, click on Register in the top menu bar.
- Select Download catalogs / updates.
- In the Choose what to download window, catalogs ready to update or download will be automatically ticked.

- If you wish to choose what to download, click Reset then tick individual catalogs.
- Click Download to download all selected.
- Click OK to continue.
Note: You can follow the status of the download in real time at the bottom right of your screen.
- When the status Download completed is shown in the bottom right of your screen, close Winner.
- Re-open Winner and an Update window is shown. To confirm the installation of the downloaded catalogs, click Yes.
Note: The previous catalog version is still retained in your database. Therefore it is recommended that you occasionally delete the old versions, using the multiple delete function, so that your database does not get overloaded and crash. See article How to delete catalogs
- Wait for the progress window to complete this shows whilst Winner installs the downloaded catalogs and updates.
Note: Whilst downloading catalogs you can continue to work in Winner, but when catalogs are installing you cannot work in Winner.
In Flex catalogs and catalog indexes are shared companywide. It is not possible to have individual catalog settings per shop, unless you have CMC.
- The catalog information window will open for each catalog you installed, once you have read the information click Close.
- The indexing window will now open. IMPORTANT! When a catalog has been installed you will be required to approve the Cost and Sales index for the new catalog. This means pricing the catalog - setting the cost of items to you and the price you will be selling them for. You will be unable to use the downloaded catalogs in a plan until you have confirmed the indexes. For instructions on how to do this see article How can I setup my cost and sales index?
