Capture & Record

Import Data

CSV, Excel, and ERP data import

Overview

Pull process data directly from the systems where it already lives. Import Data supports CSV, Excel, and structured exports from ERP systems like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. Map columns to VSM fields, set time units, and generate maps from real operational data. Ideal for processes where timing data is already captured in transactional systems but has never been visualised as a value stream.

Why Import Data?

Three reasons teams choose this tool

Skip Manual Entry

Drag and drop CSV or Excel files. Intelligent column mapping auto-detects your data structure and units.

Real Operational Data

Maps built from ERP and transactional data reflect actual performance, not estimates or averages.

Visualise the Invisible

Transaction logs contain rich process data that no one has ever visualised. Turn rows into value streams.

How It Works

Get started in four steps

1

Upload Your Data

Drag and drop CSV, Excel, or structured export files from your ERP or transactional system.

2

Map Columns

Intelligent auto-detection maps your columns to VSM fields. Adjust manually if needed.

3

Validate

Data validation highlights errors and inconsistencies before the import runs.

4

Generate Maps

Maps are generated from real operational data, complete with timing and resource information.
