Problem Statement
Growing businesses collect data from dozens of sources — Shopify, Google Analytics, ad platforms, CRMs — but struggle to make sense of it. Traditional BI tools like Tableau or Power BI require dedicated analysts and months of setup.
Small teams need insights, not dashboards. They need a tool that tells them what’s happening and what to do about it, without needing a data science background.
