Product teams sometimes double as data teams. They struggle through import errors, scrub long and complicated data sheets for consistency, and map spreadsheet fields on step 3 in a long instruction document. Data structuring and synchronization is a very real problem that product teams regularly overcome.
Flatfile uses AI-assisted data onboarding to eliminate repetitive work and make B2B data transactions fast, intuitive, and error-free. By drawing on the experiences of their thousands of users, Flatfile automatically learns how imported data should be structured and cleaned. Their product saves product teams a ton of time setting up data and syncing it across workspaces so people can focus on using their data instead of fixing it.
David Boskovic is the co-founder and CEO of Flatfile. He was previously the Platform Architect at Envoy, and CTO and co-founder of the startup Rainmaker. Eric Crane is also a cofounder and the COO of Flatfile, after being the host of Customer Success Leader and Product Manager for Envoy. They join us to talk about data from a product team’s perspective and how leveraging AI with Flatfile is removing barriers between humans and data.
