How VendorGate Works - Validate Vendor Files Automatically
From source connection to validated delivery, see how VendorGate pulls, validates, decides on, and routes every external data feed before it reaches your systems.
Connect your source
Tell VendorGate where to pull data from. The platform supports file-based sources, APIs, and databases with the same normalized record stream underneath.
- SFTP, FTP, or S3 with file stability detection
- REST APIs with cursor, page, or offset pagination
- PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, and SQLite queries
Build your contract
Define what valid data looks like. The contract is separate from operational configuration, so validation rules stay clean and reusable.
- Source format: delimiter, encoding, header handling
- Schema: types, required fields, constraints
- Rules: stateless and stateful validation
- Statistics and anomaly thresholds
Test before publishing
A contract cannot be published without at least one successful test run. Test against a live source or upload a sample file.
- Live source tests pull real data without delivering anywhere
- Sample upload tests let you validate known-good and known-bad files
- Expected outcome assertions for confident promotion
Create a pipeline
Link your published contract to a source, schedule, delivery destinations, and alert recipients. One pipeline per data feed.
- Cron, polling, or event-driven schedules
- Separate delivery paths for pass, review, and fail
- Encrypted credentials referenced by name
Run validation
The Go-powered execution engine streams records through the contract. Memory usage stays constant regardless of file size.
- Streaming first: no full file loaded into memory
- Multi-core parallel rule execution
- Performance targets: 1 GB file in under 35 seconds
Get a decision
The decision engine evaluates findings and anomalies against your policies and produces one of three outcomes.
- PASS: file is delivered to the production destination
- REVIEW: file is held for manual approval
- FAIL: file is quarantined and alerts fire
Architecture
Source agnostic. Contract driven.
After normalization, the execution engine does not care whether data came from a CSV, API, or database. The same contract language validates every source.
