Overview

Flatfile provides a data import solution that helps businesses streamline how they bring in data. Its core product is a smart API that lets companies embed a file importer into their own applications. This importer automatically collects and converts data files from any source, helping teams manage large data onboarding projects and collaborate more efficiently. The platform runs on modern cloud technology and uses Amazon S3 for scalable storage, with compliance for SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR to protect data. The company uses a freemium model, offering a free tier with paid premium features as needs grow. Unlike generic data tools, Flatfile differentiates itself by offering an embeddable, collaborative data onboarding experience that accelerates data processing and increases ROI for customers.
