PowerBI embed drove our team crazy! So we built Crunchy.
Hey everyone! I'm Hari from Zuno - we started out as a sustainability data management platform with built in custom dashboarding. But as we went more and more enterprise, the dashboards started to get more and more complex which led us down the path of using PowerBI embed to build these.
It works well, until it doesn't.
Our CS team started drowning in tickets. Small stuff, mostly. A customer wants to swap out a metric, slice the data a different way based on recommendations from a consultant, see what it would look like if we used different pivots. Nothing technically hard, but they had a lot of questions and no internal BI people to do it, and they don't want to learn PowerBI just to answer a one-off question. So they'd just ping us.
At some point we got tired of it and started asking: what if the customer could just ask the question directly?
That's how Crunchy started. An internal tool, built for our own customers, to let them query their data in plain English and get a chart and a written summary back. No BI team required, no ticket, no waiting.
Turns out the problem wasn't unique to ESG reporting. It's pretty much everywhere that non-technical domain experts sit next to a mountain of data they can't access themselves. So we're spinning it out as a standalone product.
If your team is sitting on data but the people who understand it best still have to go through someone else to get answers, that's exactly who we built this for.
We're in closed beta right now. Waitlist is open at meetcrunchy.ai, happy to open up access to anyone who can relate!
