The Challenge

Teams still waste hours each week manually downloading, cleaning, and uploading CSV files from vendors, partners, or internal systems. Files arrive late, formats change without warning, and errors slip through—causing delays, bad data, and rework.

Our Solution

An automated pipeline that ingests CSV files from any source (email, SFTP, shared drives, APIs), validates and transforms the data, and loads it into your target systems on schedule—no human touch required.

Business Impact

  • Eliminate manual CSV uploads and copy-paste errors
  • Faster data availability for reporting and operations
  • Automatic handling of file format changes
  • Built-in data validation before loading
  • Flexible scheduling for near or batch loads

End-to-End CSV Automation

Clockspring takes raw CSV inputs and delivers clean, ready-to-use data directly into your systems:

Multi-Source Collection

Pull files from email attachments, secure FTP, shared folders, or cloud storage (e.g., S3, OneDrive, Google Drive) on a defined schedule or event trigger.

Automated Parsing & Transformation

Detect delimiters, headers, and encoding automatically. Map fields, apply business rules, and reformat data without writing scripts.

Validation & Error Handling

Check for missing fields, invalid formats, or out-of-range values. Route exceptions to a review queue while processing valid rows.

Automated Loading

Send transformed data into CRMs, ERPs, databases, or APIs. Supports append, update, or replace operations with rollback safeguards.

Systems Involved

Cloud Storage: S3, OneDrive, Google Drive (API) SFTP / Secure File Transfer Email (IMAP/POP) Databases: Postgres, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL (JDBC/ODBC) Target APIs: Salesforce, ERP, Data Warehouse

Typical Flow (Simplified)

  • Source Check: Email, SFTP, Cloud Storage
  • File Intake: Detect and retrieve latest CSV
  • Schema Normalize: Standardize headers and formats
  • Validation: Run business rules and data checks
  • Transform: Apply mappings and enrich data
  • Load: Write to database or API endpoints
  • Logging: Track success/fail, send completion alerts

What You’ll Need

  • Access credentials for all file sources and destinations
  • Field mapping and transformation rules
  • Validation criteria (required fields, accepted values)
  • Load schedule (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly)
  • Exception handling policy
