 A message from ONE SCHEMA No more messy csv data It always seems to be the case that customers want to give you their data as the messiest possible CSV file, but building spreadsheet import capabilities becomes a never-ending sink for engineering and support resources. Teams keep adding features to their importers, but customers just keep running into issues. 6 months later, you’re fixing yet another data conversion edge case bug. Most data tools aren’t built for handling messy data, but OneSchema’s embeddable CSV importer is. Instead of frustrating your customers with import messages like “error on line 53”, OneSchema helps them intelligently correct messy data so they don’t have to spend hours in Excel just to get started with your product. With an extensive library of prebuilt validations and robust SDKs, OneSchema only takes 30 minutes to get running in your app. Companies like Scale AI and Pave are using OneSchema to make launching delightful spreadsheet import experiences fast and easy.
