Trustpair File Exchange Overview

Trustpair offers a robust file exchange system, designed to connect seamlessly with your technical environment. You can select the method that best aligns with your workflow: manual or automatic file exchange. Each option ensures secure and accurate handling of your vendor data.

Manual File Exchange

You can manually upload files directly into the Trustpair web application.
How to Import Files Manually:

  • Log in to the Trustpair web app.
  • Navigate to the Import module.
  • Select the appropriate category and upload your file(s).

This method is ideal for ad-hoc or occasional data imports, providing flexibility for your workflow.


Automatic File Exchange via SFTP

Trustpair supports automated file exchange using an SFTP server. This mechanism allows for both one-way (import only) and two-way (import and export) data transfers.

  1. Uni-directional Interface (SFTP Import)

Automate the transmission and import of vendor data from your technical environment to Trustpair.

How it works:

  • Configure your system to deposit CSV files containing vendor data on the Trustpair SFTP server.
  • Schedule transfers as needed (e.g., daily).

This process eliminates manual intervention, streamlining data management.

Important:

⚠️ Ensure all imported files, whether uploaded manually or via SFTP, adhere to Trustpair’s file structure and formatting guidelines for seamless integration.

  1. Bi-directional Interface (SFTP Export)

Access evaluation results automatically via files exported from Trustpair’s SFTP server to your technical environment.

How it works:

  • Establish a connection between your environment and the designated Trustpair SFTP server(s).
  • Retrieve exported evaluation result files as needed.

This setup allows direct integration of Trustpair’s insights into your internal systems and reporting workflows.


🚧

SFTP Export is optional. You can use only SFTP Import if preferred. Regardless of your configuration, evaluation results are always accessible within Trustpair’s web application modules.
