Import Everything
Your data already exists somewhere. Bring it in — in bulk, on your terms.
Match on your columns, not ours
Every importer opens with the same idea: you choose what identifies a row. Match on keys when you have them, or on the fields you actually possess — UPC and ID, planogram name, store number. The importer tells you what a given match means: which rows will update, and whether anything can be created.
Files can be Excel or tab-separated text, multiple files import together when their columns agree, and blank phantom rows — Excel's specialty — are recognized and skipped instead of tripping errors.
Planograms in, library built
Import planograms and C.A.R.M. Studio harvests the products on them — a working product library materializes from files you already have. Performance imports match by keys, by planogram fields, by store alignment, or broadcast a product's values across a whole folder.
Fixtures, positions, drawings, stores, warehouses, alignments, markets: each has a dedicated importer with the same column-matching model, so the second importer you learn feels like the first.
Sales in at full speed — performance out the other side
Sales history loads at tens of thousands of records per second: select multiple files at once, Excel or tab-separated, with no size limit on text files. Each record carries a store’s week in full — sales, volume, low and high days, weekend volume, and markdowns — keyed by store, year, week, and product, so re-imports update cleanly instead of duplicating.
Then the Performance Populator turns that history directly into planogram performance — weighted averages, ranges, and match-level aggregation — a pipeline most teams spend a week rebuilding by hand every relay.
