Import Engine

Intelligent Import Engine

Simplify your data management with a versatile import engine designed to handle complex files with ease. Whether you are uploading full product catalogs, historical order data, or bulk inventory updates, our system processes CSV, Excel, XML, and JSON formats without requiring manual conversion. The engine is built for scale, capable of processing files with over 100,000 rows while offering the ability to resume automatically if an import is interrupted.

The engine features smart parsing capabilities that recognize headers, delimiters, and various text encodings automatically. This technical intelligence means you can upload data directly from suppliers or legacy systems and let the platform manage the underlying complexity. From tiered price lists to detailed customer groups, your data is integrated efficiently while maintaining high performance across every operation.

Column Mapping

Visual Column Mapping

Match your external data to StoreControl fields using an intuitive visual interface that requires zero coding. You can drag and drop columns from your file to system fields, preview your data in real time, and receive instant feedback on mandatory requirements. For recurring tasks, you can save your mapping configurations as templates, allowing you to execute future imports with a single click.

Our smart suggestion system learns from your behavior, automatically recognizing common fields like SKU and price while remembering your previous mapping preferences. The interface also supports complex logic, such as combining brand and product name columns into a single title or parsing hierarchical categories. With real time validation and transformation previews, you can see exactly how your data will appear before the import begins.

Quality Control

Validation and Quality Control

Protect the integrity of your database by catching errors before they enter your system. Our pre-import validation checks for missing mandatory data, duplicate SKUs, and data type mismatches to ensure every record is accurate. You can choose between strict validation that blocks an entire file if an error is found, or flexible modes that import valid rows while providing a detailed report of any failures.

Error reporting is transparent and actionable, providing line by line feedback that identifies the exact cause of a problem. You can download a specialized CSV containing only the rows that failed, fix the issues directly in your spreadsheet, and re-import them immediately. These safeguards, including range checking for unrealistic prices and custom validation rules, ensure your system remains a clean and reliable source of truth.

Import Strategies

Import Modes and Strategies

Take total control over how imports interact with your existing records using flexible upsert behaviors and field-level controls.

Create Only

Add new products without affecting existing records in your catalog.

Update Only

Modify existing listings while protecting new product creation.

Full Upsert

Create and update in a single operation for complete synchronization.

Field-Level Control

Update only certain columns while protecting sensitive data.

Automated Exports

Scheduled and Automated Exports

Eliminate manual administrative work by setting up automated exports that run on your own schedule. Using custom time zones and flexible intervals, you can deliver product catalogs, inventory status reports, or financial summaries exactly when they are needed. The system even supports conditional execution, only running the export if your data has changed since the last time it was generated.

Your data can be delivered through various secure methods, including email, SFTP for ERP integration, or direct uploads to cloud storage like Google Cloud or Amazon S3. For advanced workflows, webhooks can post export data directly to your own API endpoints. With a library of templates for orders, shipments, and inventory, you can ensure that stakeholders and integrated systems always have access to the latest business intelligence.

Data Transformation

Smart Mapping and Transformation

Bridge the gap between your raw data and system requirements with an automated transformation engine. You can apply formula based calculations to adjust pricing, manipulate text to fix formatting issues, and convert dates or currencies automatically during the import process. This allows you to accept files from diverse vendors and suppliers without needing to manually clean the data first.

Beyond simple formatting, the engine provides data enrichment features such as auto generating SKUs and URL friendly slugs from your product titles. You can set static or conditional default values for missing information, ensuring your records are always complete. With a library of supplier specific templates, you can transform common industry formats into StoreControl data instantly, saving hours of manual preparation.
