Convert Manufacturer's Performance Data Into BCL/OS Components

What is the simplest way to take manufacter's data and turn it into components that are easily usable in OpenStudio? For example, LG have uploaded most of the data for their air cooled VRF units, but have yet to upload information for their water cooled units. If we have their performance data handy (excel file or PDF), what is the quickest way to turn it into a usable OpenStudio component? I know there is TPEx, but I believe that is for manufacturers and third party reviewers to upload data. I can think of a couple ways of doing it locally, but is there an automated process for uploading raw data that gets converted into OS components? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious that would be quicker.
