Toucan Toco - Data Storytellers - Data Visualisation

LI

About this project

Toucan Toco produces data visualisation apps for decision makers in more than 90 Fortune 500 companies, including LVMH, Société Générale, Total, Renault... 

Our solution aggregates multi-source data by using a library of connectors and presents the data on easy-to-use dashboards made of homemade interactive graphics; giving business leaders the ability to understand and communicate their data throughout the company. You discover your business's story, step by step, anywhere, anytime, and on any device. This is data storytelling.

 

We help present your data in a simple way; making it understandable and accessible, hence actionable by anyone in your company.

 

?  Data Visualisations adapted to an audience: We tell Data Stories by adapting the context in which your data is being told: Who is it addressed to? What are they looking for in the data? What are the KPIs that really matter to them? It's this very last kilometre of your data's journey that we help you exploit. We put the data in the hands of everyone in your company without them needing any sort of training because it's adapted to them.

? Hours of work aggregating data saved: Forget about printing Excel sheets, making visualisations out of it, screenshotting it, sending it by email, losing it, doing the whole operation again. We create apps that centralise your info, and that everyone (with user rights) can have access to. Spend those hours analysing! 

? Keep everyone on the same page. Now and forever: Centralised department- or need-specific apps, help in consolidating a business unit by defining once and for all what a certain KPI represent and the way it's calculated. Performance is a company-wide matter. Consolidate it.

? Pragmatism: You don't need a Ferrari to go buy your groceries every morning from the shop located 20 metres away from your door step. Calling on a team of analysts who will waste hours aggregating complex data for recurring simple questions is a thing of the past. Toucan helps you get simple answers from simple recurrent questions. We are not a tool for Data Exploration (a discipline dedicated to analysts).

? ROI-focused: Save time aggregating data. Improve employee productivity. Reduce the time you spend looking at information. Make better and faster decisions, anytime and anywhere you are. Deliver knowledge throughout your company. That's what Toucan does for you.

Proposal

Our Proposal

Need: which problem(s) does your proposal solve?

Help decision makers make better-informed decision using Data Storytelling apps.

Approach: how does your project solve the problem(s)?

We build department-specific apps (marketing, finance, operations, sales...) that aggregate multi-source data and present it on an easy-to-read/use dashboard. Not only are our dashboards sexy, they're also accessible anytime, anywhere and from any screen in the world.

 

Data Storytelling VS Data Exploration

Data Exploration is meant for analysts - experts who represents a minority in a company, who have been trained to use a data exploration tool - who spend hours looking for an answer to a complex question. Such tools are Tableau, Qlik or PowerBI.

Data Storytelling is meant for NON analysts (99% of the company) who do not need to be trained whatsoever, and who constantly look for answer to simple recurring questions regarding their business's performance. This is who Toucan Toco is meant for.

 

Homemade Graphics

To ensure you understand your data, we use homemade graphics that are both interactive and dynamic. This allows you to gain an incremental understanding of what is happening within your business, rather than being exposed to 10 graphics at the same time and not know where to look and what to look at.

 

Consolidation

We both work with you and use our experience to define important KPIs for your activity. We then create a glossary that explains everything to anyone who's got access to the app (from COMEX only to the whole company, depending on your needs). This will consolidate your team.

 

Agile & Adaptable

We have a big library of connectors to plug our app onto any database (Excel, Google Analytics, SQL Database... anything, really). If we don't have it yet we'll build one in just a couple of weeks.

We're a design-first company. Things have to make sense. This means not only creating a great user experience, but also using the client's design language for the app to become a native tool for you.

We use an Agile methodology in every project. This means we'll create your app in less than 3 months.

 

Alternatives: what other alternatives could solve the problem(s)?

So far so good!

Having achieved significant growth in the last 4 years without any funding is thanks to a product that answers a specific pain, that is reliable, and that is a pioneer in a new market defined by the need to democratise access to data.

Part of our sustained growth is the fact that we've got a great culture that stands on key values:

- Be well and take care: Life is about balance. You do everything for everyone to be happy and fulfilled.

- Each one teach one: everyone has something to learn and something to teach. We make sure to take the time to help one another and invest in helping everybody grow.

That's a big part of our secret sauce ;)

Benefits: what are the benefits of your proposal?

Having access to your data anytime, anywhere, on any device (we're web-based) allows you to stay on top of your business's performance without waiting for a team of analysts for a report. #BusinessPerformance

We consolidate your company's department by defining once and for all how a KPI is defined and calculated. #Consolidation

Working in an Agile Methodology allows you to have an Proof of Concept in 2 weeks, and a fully operating app in less than 3 months. #Agile

Technically-speaking, we're easy to work with. We have a big library of home-built connectors. if we don't have one for the type of database you use, we'll create it in less than a month.

We help you save time by automating reporting and data aggregation tasks.

Advantage: what gives your project the competitive edge?

No one does what we do with as much agility. No one wants to help you understand your data as much as we do. We're transparent on pricing. The product is solid: more than 90 Fortune 500 companies work with us and on more than 200 on-going projects. We've got SSO and SSL Grade A security. Anybody can use our product. Even a 5 year old child.

Prospective Partners: what might you expect from prospective project partners?

Work with us! 

If the company grew from 3 to over 50 people in just 4 years, it's because we believe in the company's vision: Help decision makers maker better informed decision by using apps that tell stories about their data.

Our tool is something you check in the morning, on your phone, whilst going to work to see what's been happening lately.

It's an app you open during a last minute meeting to support your argument, prove a point and convince your audience without having to wait for a never-ending 134 page report to come through the door when all the information you need is a tap away. 

Step by step. This is how we believe you should get to know your data. 

This is why our clients consider our tool as a must-have and not a nice-to-have.
