Bulk Upload Companies

If you need to add multiple companies at once, you can use kolum’s bulk upload feature to quickly import your company data using a CSV or Excel file. This saves time, keeps your records organized, and helps you prepare your workspace efficiently as your organization grows.

Before You Upload

To ensure your upload is successful:

• Use the two-letter country code (for example, DE for Germany, FR for France) in the Country field. Writing the full country name will result in an upload error.

• Do not leave any mandatory fields empty. At a minimum, you must include:

  • Name (company’s legal name)

  • EORI Number

  • City

  • Country (two-letter ISO code)

If required fields are empty, your upload will fail, and you will need to correct the file before trying again.

For EU-based companies, entering the EORI Number is required for reporting. For non-EU companies, you can leave this field empty.

How to Bulk Upload Companies

1. Download the template: Go to Companies and click Upload file in the top right. You can download the sample Excel or CSV file to see the correct structure.

2. Fill in your company data: Enter your company details into the file, ensuring all required fields are complete and using the two-letter country codes.

3. Upload your file: Click Select file, choose your completed file, and then click Upload file.

4. Review your data: kolum will display a preview of your entries before finalizing the upload. Check that all rows are correct and complete.

5. Confirm the upload: Once reviewed, confirm the upload. Your companies will now appear in your Companies list in kolum.

Tips for a Smooth Upload

• Use clear, consistent company names for easy management.

• Always double-check that the Country field uses two-letter ISO codes to avoid errors.

• Make sure there are no empty required fields before uploading.

• Add EORI Numbers for EU companies to prepare your workspace for compliant reporting.
