Limitless possibilities – No file size restrictions

Excel spreadsheets can contain thousands of rows of important data about your contacts, accounts, and opportunities. Importing these large file types into Sales Automation should not have to be a lengthy process. Using Pega’s File Listener and data import wizard technology, there is no limit on the size of files that can be easily imported into Sales Automation. With less time spent on uploading files, your sellers can spend more time on building strong customer engagement across the sales cycle.

Built-in batch processing for multiple imports

Have a large number of files, leads, opportunities, or contacts that need to be quickly imported into Sales Automation? Now, with Pega’s built-in batch processing capabilities, bulk imports and migrations can be carried out with greater speed and efficiency.

Further accelerating the import process, Pega’s smart File Listener technology begins the import process without having to read any files in a predefined format. When your bulk import is complete, your sellers are notified directly within Sales Automation.

Simultaneous imports across threads

The data import process shouldn’t require a massive amount of time. By using Pega’s enhanced data migration capabilities, your sales team can import your data into Sales Automation with substantially higher speed. With simultaneous imports across threads, your team is able to import organizations, accounts, and contacts quickly and efficiently.
