Import that doesn't make a mess

Upload a CSV and preview it before anything is saved. Batonford matches columns, reads dates and phone numbers the way your country writes them and finds records you already have.

  • Contacts matched by email, phone or name
  • Businesses matched by registration number or name
  • Existing records only have their gaps filled
  • A bad row is reported without stopping the good ones

Before you ask

Questions about your data.

Which CRMs can we import from?
Any that exports a CSV, as well as spreadsheets and portal enquiry exports. Columns are matched for you and you can change any match before importing.
Will importing create duplicates?
No. Rows that match an existing record by email, phone, name or registration number fill that record's gaps instead of creating a new one.
Can we get our data out?
Yes. Export contacts, businesses, listings, buyers and offers to CSV whenever you like.
Who on the team can do what?
Primaries manage the team, invite brokers and set up fields. Members work the records. An ex-staff member is deactivated and their history stays.
