Are you ready to import your data ?
Before sending your data, we recommend completing the steps below. This checklist is designed to help you get everything in order, both on your side and in relation to Fairly Made. This will help ensure a smooth import process and streamline your data integration.
Internal Preparation
Get your team organized:
- Identify your data owners: Know which teams are responsible for collecting and providing each type of data (suppliers, products, components, packaging)
- Appoint a project coordinator: Designate someone to oversee the data import process
- Align with key stakeholders: Involve Production, Quality, Sustainability, Sourcing, and IT teams as needed
- Map your data sources: Identify whether your data is already available in your systems (PLM, ERP, Excel files) or needs to be collected
💡 Tip: Don't worry about structuring or cleaning your data yet — we'll cover that later in this guide.
💡 Tip: Want a handy checklist to share with your team? Refer to our preparation to-do list that covers all these steps in a simple, actionable format.
Technical Readiness
Check your technical capabilities:
- Data access: Confirm you can access the necessary data from your internal systems or files
- Export capability: Verify you can export or extract data in accepted formats (Excel or CSV)
- Team awareness: Make sure your IT or data teams understand the different import options (manual upload, SFTP, API) and their implications
