Chasing for files & forms — great cardio.
Terrible business strategy.

Automate data and form requests, reminders, and consolidation — so clients, vendors, and partners submit what you need, when you need it. Clean files. Zero chasing*

Trusted by teams across industries

Chasing people for files is
everyone's least favourite job

Endless follow-up emails

Whether it's a client, a vendor, or a subsidiary — getting people to submit on time means sending the same reminder again and again, manually.

average follow-ups per contact per cycle

Files that don't match your format

Shifted columns, wrong date formats, renamed headers — every contact does it differently and someone has to clean it all up before it's usable.

43%of submitted files contain at least one error

Deadlines that slip anyway

Late submissions from clients or vendors hold up your whole process — onboarding stalls, reports get delayed, and your team is stuck waiting.

AI-Powered Validation

Mapping & validation that catches every error

Every contact submits files differently — different column names, date formats, structures. DropTop maps each one to your master schema automatically, catching errors before they reach you. No more manual cleanup, regardless of who's sending.

  • Column-level mapping templates per entity type
  • AI-assisted header matching and auto-correction
  • Date format normalisation across all locales
  • Data-type and range validation with row-level error reports
AI Escalation Agent Add-on

When email fails,
the AI takes over.

Some contacts just don't respond — no matter how many reminders you send. DropTop's AI Escalation Agent steps in automatically: a WhatsApp message, then a real phone call. The AI can even walk contacts through filling in a simple form while they're on the line. Zero effort from your team.

  • Configurable escalation ladder: email → WhatsApp → voice call
  • AI voice agent guides contacts through submission over the phone
  • Simple webforms completed by voice — no login required for the contact
  • Full transcript and call recording attached to audit trail
AI Escalation is an optional add-on available on Enterprise and Global plans. See pricing.

Live in days, not quarters

DropTop fits into your existing workflow in four steps — no IT project, no long onboarding, no consultant required.

1

Configure your templates

Define the fields, validation rules, and deadlines you need — whether it's a client onboarding form, vendor compliance doc, or a finance report.

2

Invite your contacts

Add contacts in bulk. Each gets a unique upload link, email address, or SFTP path — no account or password needed on their end.

3

Files arrive automatically

Contacts submit via email, portal, SFTP, or API. DropTop validates and maps every file the moment it lands.

4

Clean data, zero effort

Export validated, consolidated data to Excel, your data warehouse, or BI tool — ready to use, no manual cleanup.

Every entity, any workflow

Contacts submit however works for them. DropTop handles every channel with the same rigorous validation layer underneath.

Email

Each entity gets a unique submission address. They simply email the file — DropTop parses attachments automatically and kicks off validation.

Teams that stopped chasing — and started closing

Finance reporting, client onboarding, vendor compliance — DropTop works wherever you're waiting on someone to submit.

"We used to spend the first two weeks of every month chasing 200+ hotels for their monthly reports. DropTop cut that to zero manual effort. It even caught a currency format error in a file from our Bangkok property that would have corrupted our board pack."

Sandra Chen
Group Financial Controller, Radisson Hospitality

"We use DropTop for client onboarding — collecting KYC documents, signed forms, and ID verification. What used to take our ops team a week of back-and-forth now happens automatically. Clients get a simple upload link, DropTop chases them if they're late, and we get clean validated data at the end."

MR
Marcus Riedl
Head of Operations, Sonepar International

"We collect compliance certificates from 300+ vendors every quarter. DropTop sends the reminders, validates the documents, and flags anything missing — all without anyone on our team doing a thing. The AI Escalation add-on handles the stragglers; it called three vendors and had their forms submitted within the hour."
