MARKET NEED

Many businesses have to deal with large and unkown data sets which require detailed analysis to extract insight for BI and Reporting.
Data Visualization using charts enables quick observation of data structures, hidden data trends and specific correlations.

Existing Chart-based Visualization Tools require complex training to obtain the desired chart type and extensive work to generate a large number of charts required in the analysis.

Combines chart recommendations and navigational heuristics to guide users through their data.
Considers the users’ analytics journey or the specifics of data.
