In a perfect world, every system would have a polished API. But in the real world, your customers still send you CSVs over SFTP — and someone on your team has to make sense of them.
These file feeds are the backbone of many B2B workflows — but they're also a constant source of friction:
Sound familiar?
It's time for a better way to manage file-based onboarding.
The Problem With Custom Scripts
Most companies treat file import as a necessary evil. You get a sample file from a client, write a quick parser, deploy it, test it — and then do it all over again for the next customer. Multiply that across tens or hundreds of clients, and you've quietly built a mess of brittle, one-off code.
Worse: Non-technical teams can't help, which slows down onboarding and clogs up your engineering roadmap.
The Custom Script Cycle:
Common File Feed Challenges
- Engineers spending hours writing one-off import scripts that get thrown away
- Operations teams waiting on developer availability to onboard new clients
- Data quality issues when files don't match expected schemas
A Modern Approach to File Feed Automation
At SftpSync, we're rethinking how file-based data flows should work.
Instead of reinventing the wheel for every new integration, you define a reusable, schema-driven pipeline once — and let it run on autopilot.
Here's how it works:
Hosted SFTP endpoints
Each client gets a secure drop location
Schema validation
Define exactly what structure you expect
Transformations
Normalize column names, formats, and values
Automated delivery
Push clean data directly to your system
You only build the pipeline once. Clients plug into it with no engineering support required.
Built for Ops, Not Just Engineers
SftpSync gives non-technical teams the power to manage file feeds without touching code. Configure imports, set up validations, and get notified when something breaks — all through a clean interface.
Empower your operations team
Now, your ops team can:
Onboard clients independently
No engineering bottlenecks
Enforce data consistency
Across all sources
Catch errors early
Before they hit production
Why This Matters
Platforms like Flatfile and Oneschema have shown how powerful schema-based onboarding can be — especially when it's self-serve.
SftpSync brings that same power to file feeds delivered over SFTP — still one of the most common integration methods in enterprise software.
Whether you're syncing HR data, product catalogs, transaction logs, or anything in between — we help you make file-based onboarding seamless, scalable, and safe.
SFTP isn't going away. Let's stop treating it like a legacy pain point — and start using it like a first-class integration channel.
