Capability overview

Most platform inventories do not start in a purpose-built system. They start in spreadsheets, because spreadsheets are usually where teams go first when they need to get control of something quickly.

Spreadsheet Platform Import helps organisations bring existing platform lists into Nortrue without manually rebuilding every record. Teams can move from a static spreadsheet into a live platform register with less effort and less friction.

This makes onboarding simpler and gives teams a practical bridge from “we have a spreadsheet somewhere” to “we have a platform estate we can actually manage.”

What this helps with

  • Reduce onboarding effort
  • Meet teams where they are
  • Move into a live register

Common use cases

  • Import an existing inventory. Bring platform lists into Nortrue from spreadsheet-based registers, audits, or operating documents.
  • Speed up implementation. Help teams get useful platform data into Nortrue early during setup.
  • Standardise platform records. Convert inconsistent spreadsheet rows into structured platform records that can be governed over time.

Who it helps

Technology operations teams

Need a faster way to move existing platform data into a structured operating system.

Platform and governance leads

Need to turn spreadsheet inventories into records that can be reviewed, owned, and maintained.

How this connects to Nortrue

Spreadsheet Platform Import helps teams create the starting point for connected platform governance.

Once imported, platform records can connect to vendors, agreements, renewals, risks, decisions, costs, teams, and operating reviews.
