Phase 2: Master Data Import and Migration

Our Import and Migration Process:

Step 1: Template Provision

  • We will provide you with customized templates for the data you want to import, including asset lists, parts, and more.

  • You will need to fill in the provided CSV templates with the correct data.

  • Our team will also provide detailed guidelines to ensure the data is formatted correctly, reducing the risk of errors during the import process.

Step 2: Data Validation and Testing

  • Our team will carefully validate the data you’ve provided to check for any discrepancies or inconsistencies that could cause issues during import. This includes checks for missing fields, invalid data formats, and logical errors.

  • We conduct several mock imports to simulate the process, ensuring that there are no duplicates, errors, or impure data that could impact your system’s performance. This proactive validation ensures that your import runs smoothly when the time comes.

Step 3: Data Import Assistance

  • Once your data is validated, our Customer Success Team will personally guide you through the final import process into your account.

  • You’ll receive hands-on support to ensure everything is correctly mapped and integrated into your Fogwing account, making the transition seamless.
