Data drives today’s global digital economy and is often stored in files. With data volumes and complexity growing across sectors, companies increasingly rely on large spreadsheets or XML and JSON files from partners, contractors, and suppliers to optimize operations, improve customer experiences, and fuel growth.
To support customers in reaching these goals, software providers must ensure consistent and accurate data from everyone involved. However, with each company managing data in different formats, structures, and quality levels, regularly importing data from files stored across various sources can quickly become a roadblock to scaling a SaaS business.
This is where Ingestro Data Pipelines seeks to transform file-based data imports. Rather than spending time and resources on manually importing data from customers and third parties, Ingestro Data Pipelines helps you fully automate recurring data imports across different sources and file formats. Here's why it’s a key resource for business growth.
Collaborate with customers to create automated data pipelines that ensure accurate, consistent ingestion from your preferred file formats and sources.
As digital ecosystems grow more complex across the global economy, managing recurring data imports from various file formats and sources is one of the major challenges for software companies aiming for growth.
Imagine this scenario: A sustainability SaaS company signs a car manufacturer as a new customer. At first, developers build custom scripts to import data from the customer’s ERP system, or customer success (CS) managers manually submit the data received by email:
A similar issue arises when customers provide the same data in different formats. Either way, CS managers often find themselves spending hours or days manually adjusting the data to fit their system’s requirements and asking for developer support for the import.
By fully automating data imports across different file formats and sources, the sustainability software company can give the car manufacturer a comprehensive view of its carbon emissions across the supply chain to support their climate action goals.
| How file-based data imports impact SaaS companies | |
|---|---|
| Wasted resources | Building custom integrations for each new customer or troubleshooting new file formats and sources blocks significant resources from core product development. |
| Poor data quality | Without automatic quality checks, human error leaves many issues unnoticed and unresolved across datasets, undermining product reliability. |
| Delayed time to value | With messy customer data sent via email, CS managers often spend hours manually reformatting it to fit their system’s predefined import templates. |
| Limited scalability | As the customer base grows, the provider's ability to deliver ready-to-use datasets without additional hiring becomes increasingly limited. |
