Your product list.
Clearer records.
Ready for review.

Tidy a manageable file without losing the original.

Prepare one product or equipment CSV for review before moving to another system. David agrees the columns and cleanup rules, works on a copy and gives you a revised file with a change log and exceptions to check.

Personal help from David. Scope and suitability agreed before booking.

Practical help.
Clear boundaries.

01 / CHECK THE FILE

Agree the rules before changing data

Review a small authorised sample, the intended destination and up to ten columns before booking. Agree required values and text-versus-number fields. The fixed starter covers one CSV with up to 1,000 rows.

02 / KEEP THE ORIGINAL

Work on a separate copy

Retain the source and all rows. Reconcile input and output counts and log agreed changes. Potential duplicates are flagged for review rather than silently merged or deleted.

03 / CONSISTENT FORMATTING

Tidy what you have agreed

Apply agreed whitespace and format rules while preserving meaningful identifiers such as leading-zero product codes. No guessed missing values, unapproved numerical conversion or rewriting of product codes.

04 / FIND THE EXCEPTIONS

Show what needs a decision

Flag missing required values, candidate duplicate identifiers and inconsistent entries. Formula-like values are reviewed before spreadsheet use. You decide how unresolved records should be handled.

05 / ONE REVIEW

Check the result together

Receive a revised copy, change log, row reconciliation and exceptions report. One review within the agreed rules and a practical handover. Extra sources, new rules and further rounds need a separate quote.

06 / YOUR IMPORT DECISION

Keep live systems under your control

This is file preparation, not a live import or a guarantee of destination compatibility. Agree the intended importer and test on a safe copy before any later migration. Existing contacts-cleanup and asset-audit work is checked to avoid overlap.

£195 for one agreed file.
Clear changes and exceptions.

A fixed starter for a manageable product or equipment CSV. No compulsory monthly fee. Complex files, multiple sources, live migrations, formulas, accounting and financial reconciliation are separate.

  • One CSV, up to 1,000 rows
  • Up to ten agreed columns
  • Original and all rows retained
  • Change log and exceptions report
  • One review and handover

Tell David what you need first. We confirm availability, suitability, scope and any separate costs in writing before you commit.

A conversation.
Then a clear plan.

01

Tell David what you need

Choose this service on the enquiry form and describe the outcome you want. No payment or files are needed to start.

02

Agree the scope

We check suitability and availability, then confirm the brief, full price, timing, access and any separate costs.

03

Work and handover

The agreed work is completed and checked with you, with a practical handover and any next steps made clear.

Clear about the details.

Will you remove duplicate rows?

No. Candidate duplicate IDs are flagged for your review. The starter retains all rows and does not automatically delete or merge entries.

Can you import the file into our live system?

Live imports and integrations are excluded. Tell David the intended destination so the preparation rules can be agreed. Any later import needs its own safe test and approved scope.

Can you fix formulas or reconcile our accounts?

No. This starter is for a non-sensitive product or equipment CSV. Formulas, macros, stock valuation, accounting reconciliation and regulated/sensitive data are excluded.

How do I send the file?

Start with the enquiry form without attachments. David agrees a suitable private transfer route, minimal sample, access and retention arrangements before receiving files.

How is this different from your other cleanup services?

Contacts use the existing contacts-cleanup offer. Asset audits check assets against records. This service tidies one supplied product/equipment CSV; we remove overlap from combined quotes.

What do you
have in mind?

Tell David about the file you need tidied. The homepage form will have this service selected for you.
