We offer data import options to help you get started, data can come from your existing system or from spreadsheets or we can always obtain some of it from your warehouse.

The costs associated with data take on are only applicable if you have data which you want imported into the system when you start, if you are a new company then you could start with a blank sheet, but if you have been trading for a while then there is always an element of data take on, whether it is just your customers or products or everything, we usually discuss this at the discovery process. |
Due to the the commerce level of analysis for both customers and products, you may find this takes considerable additional time to populate these mandatory fields.
Style of Import
An explanation of the different charges is shown below:
...
Build Import
...
This is the most expensive option as you will provide us with the data which we then have to get into the import templates for you.
| Note |
|---|
If we are involved in obtaining data from your system then we would have to charge an additional cost for this level of import work |
This also usually involves two imports of your data as we have no idea whether we will get it right first time. In general this method of importing will take somewhere between 20-40 working days to complete.

This also included building the logic imports and then importing into the system. |
...
Logic Import
...
This is a half way solution, where you provide us the import templates with as much filled as possible and we will then use logic to complete the rest.
We will then build the import routine, adding in required fields, and mandatory data that the customer could not supply.
This takes us slightly longer to build the import, once done you will have the ability to update the source spreadsheets before we import the data to the live system.
Generally this building of logic will take upto 15 working days to complete.
...
Direct Import
...
This is the cheapest option and involved you providing all the data within the import spreadsheets and it is 100% ready to import.
There can be no modifications, changes or alterations the customer has to correct the import file to make it correct.
If you do not have all the data or you feel that we need to perhaps make some changes then a Logic Import is better.
...
...
...
Additional Imports
...
If we import the data and then the customer provides us more data to import as long as there are no changes to the logic / direct import then this would be the additional charge.
...
Subsequent Changes
...
If we have to alter the import routines after the initial import then we would charge for the time take to carry out this work
...
What we will import and how we will build your import will be defined in your sales agreement but it will take two parts

Not sure where to start
Let us know we can arrange a call and point you to the correct information and the level of information you need to place into the imports.
What do we import from
We use excel as the base file structure, we can provide you a blank template which you just fill in and return to us. Your system may be able to generate the information and it can simply be a case of copy / paste the information over to the new import.
