Overview
CSV automation allows you to streamline your data import process by automatically importing CSV files from your retail POS system into Endear. This solution eliminates manual file uploads and ensures your customer, product, and sales data stays in-sync with minimal effort from your team.
CSV automation is ideal for brands that want:
Fast and rapid implementation with low technical requirements
Regular data synchronization without manual intervention
A cost-effective solution compared to custom API or integration development
This solution works best for retailers who are familiar with the Endear Schema Reference or are currently using CSV imports and want to scale their data integration.
How CSV Automation Works
CSV automation creates a seamless data pipeline between your retail systems and Endear.
Cloud Storage Bucket / Database (Customer-driven): Automate periodic downloads of your POS data into .csv format and send it to your cloud database. We currently support SFTP (Secure-File Transfer Protocol), Amazon AWS S3, Google Cloud/Drive, and Microsoft Azure/Azure SQL Database.
Data Cleaning & Processing Pipeline (Endear-driven): Endear's automated system downloads and cleans your data to match the Endear Schema Reference. Clean data is automatically processed, formatted, and submitted into our database.
Getting Started
CSV automation setup costs and timelines vary depending on specific business needs and technical requirements. The typical implementation timeframe is 1-2 weeks. To learn more or get started, reach out to Endear via our live chat or contact your current account manager.
