Get your data in quickly
Moving existing data across is the first hurdle for most teams, so Active Steward™ takes data in bulk rather than record by record.
- Excel import templates for composition items, formulations, registrations, submissions, tonnage, studies, analytical data, companies and contacts. Composition item imports update matching records as well as creating new ones.
- Row-level error reporting: problems in an import are reported against the row that caused them, so they can be fixed in the spreadsheet and imported again.
- IUCLID files are linked to the right companies and composition items from the legal entity and substance in the file. IUCLID tools
- REST API for loading data from, and keeping it in step with, ERP, PLM, LIMS and reporting systems. Integrations
- Surveys and enquiries collect tonnage, uses and other data directly from members, customers and partners through the Portal. Surveys and data collection
- Email filing: emails that include a record's code are filed against that record. Email filing
