Whaly is building a self-service analytics platform

Whaly helps data teams save time on maintenance and analysis building while making business users more autonomous on the analysis they want to improve their decision making. We do this by providing a self service data platform where both data and business teams can work together. We understood that most data teams were ending up being a bottleneck for the rest of the company and needed to give more autonomy to business teams to back their decisions with data. Emilien, Florian and Pierre were the minds behind the Data advertising platforms of the major media and e-commerce companies in France in their earlier position as Product Manager and head of Customer Success, giving them an edge on how to execute successfully a data project.

Whaly 🐳 BI platform to scale your business with data
See original launch post

The problem

After interviewing and working with 100+ companies, we understood that the “best” companies, that are “data driven” only have 20-30% of teams who have adopted data. Why?

  1. ⏱ A data project is too long to setup and sometimes requires technical skills (~ 6 months average from ideation to implementation)
  2. 💸 Costs are way too high 200K$ on average for a data project
  3. 🧩 Data tools and BI are poorly connected to business teams workflows and tools (slack, spreadsheet, CRM, etc.) asking an additional effort to consume it
  4. 😿 Data teams are too busy maintaining a stack instead of giving something more self-service tools to their users (business teams, investors, partners, clients, etc.)
  5. 💩 In the end business teams tend to rebuild everything manually with spreadsheets or other tools instead of spending time analyzing the data

So in short, on one hand data leaders spend 80% of their time maintaining a stack and on the other hand, people who need analysis and answers reinvent the wheel manually because they feel underserved.

Welcome to Whaly, the modern platform that helps everyone makes decision-based on data efficiently

So what is Whaly? A platform to help you connect, transform and distribute data easily to everyone

  1. 🔥 Analytics ready data where you need it → connect all your tools (Mktg, CRM, Back end, etc.) and get analytics ready data in minutes and forever (Whaly manages all the schema and updates so you can focus on analyzing your performances
  2. 📊 Adhoc questions and chart creation in a safe environment for business users → business users can access data in a friendly way and build their own analysis, welcome to self service, autonomy and engagement for everyone
  3. ⚒️ Data analysis can be part of every team journey and workflow → Send analysis in slack for CS teams, embed them in your CRM for sales, in your product for your customers, Notions or Clickup for OKR, etc.
