Our take
Founded in 2018, Flatfile helps companies easily onboard, structure, and clean data across different inputs. This latter feature is Flatfile’s selling point for its target market: companies handling high-variance input, for example in the use of transactional data.
Flatfile's software radically streamlines what would otherwise be a labor-intensive formatting and validation process. With significant amounts of time and skilled labor routinely directed towards simple data-wrangling, and Flatfile's offerings can reportedly cut this expense by up to 95%.
The company has built strong momentum, growing its customer base to hundreds of companies globally, and helping to onboard and transform over 700 million rows of data for companies like Toast, HubSpot, ClickUp, and Blackbaud. It also released Flatfile Data Exchange Platform (flaunted as the industry’s first platform of its kind), which shows that it is continuing to innovate.
