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.
The appeal of Flatfile’s products is clear. Significant amounts of time and skilled labor are 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 in a short period, 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.
Flatfile's modest but high-efficiency product offering should make for a manageable and successful trajectory going forward, especially as it has good funding at its back. Its newest release, the Flatfile Data Exchange Platform, is flaunted as the industry’s first extensible platform for file-based data import, showcasing that the company is continuing to innovate as it develops.
