Build Internal Tool vs Buy the Best Data Uploader

SaaS companies often have a wide range of customers that need to upload files. However, there is often no consistency in file format, fields, and values within the cells. And oftentimes that data needs to be validated before being accepted, which ends up taking a lot of engineering time to support.

For Mosaic, importing clean business data and financial data is mission critical. They needed a flexible solution that could adjust to different types of users. So they set off building a data importer tool to bring in disparate data sources from each customer. Based on the kinds of validations and customizations they needed, it was going to be a 9-12 month engineering roadmap. After a few months of work, they debated what to do next - keep working on the data importer to make it production ready for customers or partner with a solution provider.

Ultimately, they decided building a data importer tool was not part of Mosaic’s core business.

“We want to build the best resource management system possible, not the best data import tool,” said Nima.‍

Mosaic Needed Scalability and Customization‍

Based on their research, the leadership team connected with the Osmos product and vision of the founders. “We immediately saw the alignment on the goal. Instead of some third party tool we now have a second party tool.”

Scalability and customization were important factors in their decision. With Osmos Uploader, Mosaic found a quick way to configure and embed a smart data uploader right into their application, while still being able to handle multiple data importing scenarios.‍
