The open source CSV importer
TableFlow is an open source data import platform for companies to collect and transform customer data. Instead of building an in-house file upload and processing service, businesses can embed or link to TableFlow's customizable importer to manage their data onboarding needs.

TL;DR
TableFlow enables enterprises to extract and transform unstructured data from CSVs, PDFs, images, and web pages. Instead of spending time on manual data entry and validation, teams use TableFlow to automate these tasks with AI.
Hi everyone, we’re Eric and Mitch from TableFlow! 👋
Problem
Many companies rely on spreadsheets, PDFs, and other file types to import partner or customer data, which exists in a variety of formats. This difficult and time-consuming process often leads to companies relying on a combination of in-house tooling and manual work to migrate the data. This becomes even more problematic when ingesting hundreds or thousands of files a week.
Solution
TableFlow handles the file import process with automated pipelines that use AI to map, extract, transform, and validate data.
How it works:
- Define your destination schema in our app. These are the columns and data types that you want to transform data to.
- Import a file via our API.
- Receive a webhook when the file finishes processing (takes ~10 seconds, even with 100k+ records). This will include any errors, such as a required field being missing.
- Optional: Review the imported data in our application before continuing.
- Import the cleaned, transformed data into your system.
TEAM
We met while working at Heymarket, a Series-A startup in SF. Mitch was the first product hire, and Eric was the first full-stack engineer. During our two years there, we co-owned many projects and defined many of the engineering & product processes to help the company scale. We became friends outside of the office by talking about startups, tennis, pickleball, and mountain biking.
Mitch started his career as an engineer before moving to the dark side (product 😛). He previously worked at GE Digital and Bolt and founded a company focused on B2B payments.
Eric is a software engineer who previously worked at Facebook and myMatrixx and co-founded a company that created a search engine for car shopping online.
