Vendor file drops into your warehouse or CRM
Files from your registration platform picked up, checked and loaded to Snowflake, BigQuery, a database or your CRM with the same rules as any other source.
SFTP and file drop integrations
SFTP and file drops: when the vendor offers files, we make them useful.
Some platforms will deliver your data as files to an SFTP folder or a cloud bucket. Some older systems can only produce a scheduled export or a report. Either way you have a folder of files and a question: now what. We pick them up, check them, handle the drift between one file and the next, and deliver the data where it needs to go.
Sound familiar?
The nightly file did not arrive. Nobody knew until noon.
The vendor drops a file every night and a script loads it. On show day the file arrived late and half empty, the load ran anyway, and by noon the dashboard showed three hundred registrants fewer than yesterday. Nobody knew whether the people had cancelled or the file was wrong.
- The file arrived, but the columns had moved.
- The load ran on a half-written file and wiped yesterday’s numbers.
- The same person appears in three nightly files and nobody de-duplicates.
- It is the only way this system can share data, and it needs babysitting.
We live in your world
We know how files fail.
They arrive late, arrive partial, change shape without warning, and repeat records from the night before. We wait for a complete file, check its shape against the last one, load only what changed, and alert a person when a file does not arrive when it should. On show day that difference is the whole job.
Where a file drop stops
A scheduled file from your registration platform or membership system is a fine way to move data when nothing changes between files. It knows nothing about cancellations, duplicates, or the rules on the other side. We treat the file as one source among others, apply the same matching and rules as any other integration, and log every record. Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage work the same way.

How we do it
Common SFTP and file drop integrations
Files from systems that have no API
Scheduled reports from older membership or internal systems turned into an automated feed for your app or registration system.
Files out to partners
Attendee lists to housing, badging or credit reporting partners in the layout they require, on their schedule.
A person alerted when the file is late
Missing, partial or misshapen files raise an alert before anything loads.
What done looks like
The nightly file is checked before it loads, the missing one raises an alert at six in the morning instead of a question at noon, and the data on the other side is right.
How every project starts
We start with a free consultation - about two hours of discovery kicking off with a 30-minute call. We map out where your data lives, the business rules your event follows, and what your IT team will need to see. You keep that document whether you hire us or not.
If you do hire us, a first integration is typically $3,500 to $7,500, and reusing it for your next event costs 40 to 90 percent less. No subscription. No annual contract.
Money back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the integration, we’ll refund you.
