codat

Codat refers to a technology company that provides a cloud-based data integration platform designed to connect small and medium-sized business financial data with third-party applications. The platform acts as a unified data layer, enabling live access to financial information from various sources through application programming interfaces (APIs).

Core functionality includes extracting data from sources such as accounting software, banks, payment providers, and point-of-sale systems, normalizing it into a consistent model, and delivering it to downstream applications used for accounting, analytics, lending, and workflow automation.

Common use cases include lender underwriting, risk assessment, cash-flow forecasting, financial analytics, and onboarding of new customers to software products.

The company positions itself in the fintech and software-as-a-service ecosystems, working with developers and business software vendors to embed financial data capabilities into their offerings.

In the broader field of computing, the term codat is distinct from codata, a concept in type theory and functional programming that refers to coinductive data structures and corecursive definitions.
