MFT Gateway

What MFT Gateway does

MFT Gateway, operated by Aayu Technologies LLC, is a cloud-native Managed File Transfer (MFT) and AS2 platform delivered primarily as SaaS to B2B teams that need to exchange EDI files with trading partners. The platform is built natively on AWS serverless architecture (AWS Lambda for compute and Amazon S3 for storage), supporting AS2, AS4, SFTP, and S3 protocols with a REST API, webhooks, and OAuth2 for automation. It targets logistics and transportation, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and retail and consumer goods customers, with specialized configurations for FDA Electronic Submissions Gateway traffic, HIPAA-scoped deployments, and Walmart/Amazon retail EDI requirements. The company also offers single-tenant AWS deployments (customer-owned or Aayu-dedicated AWS accounts) for compliance and data-sovereignty use cases, plus companion products AS2 Gateway (on-prem/container alternative) and EDI Generator (EDI document processing) within the Aayu Technologies portfolio.

The company operates on a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led growth (a 30-day free trial with no credit card required) with direct enterprise sales for deployments exceeding 1 million messages per month or requiring single-tenant compliance configurations. Pricing is published in 12 tiers from $9/month (Starter, 20 messages) to $5,599/month (Diamond, 1 million messages), with annual billing yielding up to 20% savings and enterprise custom contracts for higher volumes. Documented production customers include Indegene (pharmaceutical deployments at ~400,000 messages/month in US and EU regions), TAL (replacing a 25-year-old IBM WebSphere installation), Smarteeva (Salesforce-integrated FDA submissions), and Kicksaw (SI delivering to medical device clients), alongside 100+ named customers across 30+ industries. The company is bootstrapped, founder-led by Asankha Perera, and operates with 1-10 employees from Sheridan, United States, with no external funding disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Subscription - Message-Based Tiers: Volume-based subscription tiers with included message allocations per month. Tiers range from Starter (20 messages at $9/month) through Diamond (1M messages at $5,599/month), with overage charges for additional messages. Annual billing provides up to 20% savings. Single-tenant and dedicated deployments (>1M messages) are quoted through sales.
2. Usage-Based Overage Charges: Per-message overage charges when message volume exceeds tier allocation. Rates range from $0.25/message (Starter) down to $0.001/message (Diamond), creating a consumption-based revenue component on top of base subscriptions.
3. Add-on Services: Optional add-ons including SFTP access (additional $5/month on certain tiers), static IP, and FDA support on entry tiers. Enterprise features like dedicated hosting on AWS, 24x7 enterprise support, and professional services are available at custom pricing.
4. Enterprise Professional Services: Custom deployments, professional services, and enterprise license for high-volume or single-tenant requirements. Includes dedicated AWS account deployments, custom integrations, and compliance-specific configurations.
