About VendorGate - Built by Mihma
VendorGate is a contract-driven validation platform built by Mihma to help operations and engineering teams trust the external data that powers their businesses.
Our story
From a real incident to a universal platform
VendorGate started with a single painful lesson: a week-long vendor file incident in the appliance parts distribution industry caused $70,000+ in total business impact. Lost sales, marketplace penalties, staff overtime, and developer repair work all traced back to one bad file that reached production systems.
We realized the problem was not unique to one industry. Any company that depends on external data feeds faces the same risk. So we built a platform that guarantees no bad file reaches a downstream system. Ever.
"No bad file reaches a downstream system. Ever."
That promise is the foundation of every design decision in VendorGate.
Principles
How we build
Correctness above all else
A missed bad file is a system failure. A good file incorrectly blocked is also a system failure. We optimize for both dimensions.
Explicit over implicit
Every configuration option has a clear definition. No magic defaults, no silent failures.
Audit everything
Every event in the lifecycle of every run is recorded. If a question can be asked about a file, the platform can answer it.
Streaming first
No dataset is loaded entirely into memory. Records are processed as a stream, so file size does not limit the platform.
Contract driven
All validation behavior is defined by contracts. Changing what is valid means changing the contract, not the code.
Source agnostic
After normalization, the engine does not care whether data came from CSV, Excel, API, or database.
