# Importing Customers

You can import a file containing customer data into Quantify as long you use a specific Excel template and save it as a tab-separated text file. You should be able to find the required Excel template here: C:\Program Files\Avontus\Quantify Client\Catalogs\CustomerVendorTemplate.xls. If you do not have it, contact [support@Avontus.com](mailto:Support@Avontus.com?subject=Importing%20data%20into%20Quantify) and we will be happy to provide it.

To import customers:

1. Click the **Tools** menu and select either **Import Customers** or **Import Vendors** (as appropriate) from the **Import** sub-menu.
