Actiondesk

I use Actiondesk on a daily basis to check out my key metrics report and run once off analyses. As a non-technical founder with no prior SQL or coding skills, the power it gives me is incredible - I haven't asked my eng team for analytics or DB help in months! Would *highly* recommend for any founder to check it out - it's a game changer and has saved me + my team so much time. Congrats on the launch Jonathan and team 🚀🚀🚀

Thanks @katmanalac for hunting us 🙏 Hey Product Hunt, After 2 years of hard work, we're super excited to launch Actiondesk publicly. 🤔 What is it? Actiondesk lets everyone in your company easily answer questions with data - without bothering the engineering team - Actiondesk is a full fledged spreadsheet: you can build pivot table and use formulas your non technical team members are already familiar with - The data is always up to date. Actiondesk connects to your database and other data sources and updates the data every hour. 🔥 Why we're working on this In my previous job, we had tons of dashboards created by a centralized BI team. It was fine, but sometimes, these dashboards are not exactly what we needed. - Maybe they didn't consider a specific edge case of our specific team - Maybe they didn't plan on a specific filter we wanted to do - etc Asking them to make the changes would be too slow as they already have too much work (we were a +1,000 employees company) As a result, we defaulted to creating our own reports on Excel. The problem was that the data was never up to date. We had to export data from our systems every time we wanted fresh data in our Excel reports. I wished I had something that's as easy and flexible as Excel and that would connect directly to our databases and SaaS tools. That's exactly what we're building with Actiondesk. 😌 Problems it solves Your non technical teams need to be able to answer questions with data quickly - without having to go through your engineering or BI team 🛠 Example of use cases - For founders and executives: Key metrics report. Have a unified line by line report with weekly or monthly metrics such as Revenue, # of customers, cost, product usage, etc - For the Finance team: Track actuals vs forecast. Compare easily in one spreadsheet actual revenue, cost, profit vs forecasts. - For the Sales team: custom sales funnel report. Build a custom sales Funnel report with your CRM's data and make sure your team is focused on meeting your objectives - For Ecommerce Operations: Track your orders lifecycle. Build a unified report with your # of orders placed, shipped and delivered, returns, discounts, and so on. 🚀 And if you want to try it out: a few steps to reach the aha moment with Actiondesk - Create your account by following this link (2 weeks free trial) - Follow the onboarding flow to learn how our pivot table works - Connect your database - Build your first report.

I've been following Jo & Actiondesk for years even when they had not incorporated. They're truly an A++ team, harnessing the power of focus to ship such a useful tool. What I really like about Actiondesk: you can access your data in a spreadsheet and give *autonomous* access to the company data to any business user in a *no code* tool. Stellar progress, all the best on your public launch!

This looks amazing, always struggled with BI tools, not everybody can use SQL(even if they should learn it), import export csv is my nightmare and relying on the eng teams to make changes is a pain. Sometimes all you need is good ol' spreadsheet. Congrats !

Very useful even if you already have a data stack for simplifying communication and selfserve for business stakeholders. Congrats

Great product from a great team! Actiondesk is one of the trendiest nocode app in the analytics sector and their success is deserved.

Using it everyday and addicted to it! As powerful as excel and synchronized with our DB
