Sumboard

Sumboard is an embedded analytics platform designed for developers who need to deliver customer-facing data insights without extensive custom development. It allows companies to integrate powerful, branded dashboards directly into their existing software, making the analytics feel native to the user experience.

Instead of spending months building in-house reporting features, Sumboard provides a low-code solution for creating multi-tenant dashboards. These dashboards can be scoped per customer, rendered under the client's brand, and include features like interactive filters, period comparisons, and automated report delivery.

Beyond the embedded platform, Sumboard also offers data engineering services. These services cover tasks like warehouse migration, pipeline rebuilds, and semantic modeling, which are useful when the source data is not yet ready for consumption by the analytics platform.

Frequently asked questions

What types of databases can Sumboard connect to?

Sumboard connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, MariaDB, MongoDB, or a REST API. It reads data at query time.

How is data security handled for multi-tenant dashboards?

Multi-tenant security is managed through token-based authentication, ensuring that each customer only sees their specific data.

Does the pricing change as more customers use the dashboards?

No. The platform uses a flat fee, and viewer usage is not counted, so adding more customers does not change the bill.

Can I customize the look and feel of the dashboards?

Yes. The platform supports white-label customization, allowing users to change chart colors, add logos, and match the branding of the host application.

Does Sumboard handle data pipeline setup?

While the embedded platform handles the visualization, Sumboard also offers data engineering services for warehouse migration and pipeline rebuilds when the source data is not ready.
