How Slipflow works

From broken incoming data
to clean, trusted outputs

Slipflow sits between your external partners and your core systems. Data arrives however it arrives. Slipflow makes sure it's right before it goes anywhere near your downstream processes.

The data flow

No rip-and-replace.

Slipflow works with your existing channels and systems. Your partners don't change how they send data. Your downstream systems don't change how they receive it.

Ingest

Data arrives however your partners send it

Email, SFTP, or API - Slipflow accepts data across all the channels your coverholders, brokers, and partners already use. No new portals. No new processes for them.

  • Configure multiple ingest connectors simultaneously
  • Email-based file delivery - attachments ingested automatically
  • SFTP drop folders for scheduled or recurring feeds
  • REST API ingestion where upstream systems support it
  • Portal upload - drag-and-drop for ad-hoc or manual submissions
  • Duplicate detection across all channels - filename and content hash checking
  • AI-assisted structure recognition and data extraction across all supported formats

Map

Columns mapped to your target schema automatically

Incoming data rarely uses your field names. Slipflow's AI-assisted mapping matches incoming columns to your target structure - and learns from corrections over time.

  • Field mapping with AI-assisted column name matching
  • Industry code matching recognises standard references like Lloyd's CR codes
  • Self-learning - every manual correction improves future matching
  • Template-based rules plus client customisation
  • Handles inconsistent column naming across senders
  • Format normalisation - dates, currencies, postcodes, country codes

Validate

Every row checked against your business rules

Structural checks aren't enough in regulated industries. Slipflow runs semantic validation - business logic, cross-field rules, reconciliation checks - and produces a clear result for every row.

  • Field rules - required fields, data types, formats, enumerations
  • Cross-field rules - date sequences, arithmetic relationships, conditional requirements
  • Cross-row and cross-sheet rules - duplicate detection, aggregation and sum checks
  • Reconciliation checks - totals, counts, expected allocations
  • Pre-built rule sets for premium bordereau, claims bordereau and risk exposure SOV
  • Good rows flow through. Exceptions are flagged, not the whole file.

Review

Exceptions surfaced with full context - not the whole file

When rows fail validation, Slipflow exports a clearly annotated exception file back to the sender with exactly what failed, why, and what needs correcting. Your team doesn't need to touch it.

  • Duplicate detection flags potential reprocessing before it happens, with configurable lookback
  • Exceptions exported back to partner in their original format - no new tools for them
  • Clear failure reason and suggested correction per row
  • Valid rows delivered immediately - not held up by exceptions
  • Full audit log: every rule applied, every exception raised, every resolution

Deliver

Clean data to your downstream systems - on time, every time

Validated data is delivered in your target format via the channel your downstream systems expect. No integration rework required.

  • Configure multiple output connectors per workflow
  • SFTP delivery to downstream systems and partners
  • REST API delivery into platforms that support it
  • Email delivery of processed files
  • Output profiles - control column selection, ordering, renaming and format per downstream system
  • Output in same format as input, or target schema format
  • Store validated outputs for aggregation workflows that combine data across multiple runs into a single delivery

Audit & Compliance

Compliance-grade audit trail - per file, per rule, per decision

Every file Slipflow processes generates a complete, queryable audit record. Not operational logging - evidence your auditors and regulators can actually use.

  • Full audit log per file - received, processed, delivered timestamps
  • Every validation rule applied, with pass/fail result, logged per row
  • Every exception raised and its resolution recorded
  • 90-day retention by default - configurable on request
