How does our data upload service work?
Whatever data you hold, and wherever you hold it, our field service management software data upload services will pull it together and enter it into your new software. Our specialist tools allow us to manipulate data from disparate systems so that the software can understand it, meaning you won’t have to input data manually when you make the move to RedZebra. The result: a rapid streamlining of your processes without you needing to worry about importing your existing data.
What kinds of data & platforms can we work with?
You’d be surprised how many platforms we can import data from when it comes to getting RedZebra set up for your business. That means that even if your data is held on other systems, we’re usually able to convert it into a format that RedZebra can understand. Some of the most common platforms we work with include Excel, Access and SQL, but there are plenty of less well-known systems we’ve successfully transferred data from. We can also import data from competitor systems.
On-going data support
Our data upload services don’t have to be limited to the initial import of your data when you first purchase the software. If you’re looking for more support than a one-off upload, we also offer the option of on-going data support to help you transfer your data in stages. If you’re not sure whether a one-off or on-going data upload is best for your business, we’re very happy to advise on how we can ensure RedZebra is seamlessly integrated into your business.
