The fastest way to launch customer-facing analytics in your apps.

You're cruising along, building your SaaS, and then BAM! Your customers hit you with a request for better visibility into the "thing" your software does. Whether it's processing payments, shipments, or refreshments, no matter what your business is, your customers want to know how they can get the most value out of your app.

You might think, "No sweat, let's throw in some charts and call it a win." But hold onto your hats because your users are about to throw you a curveball. They see a chart, they want a dashboard. You give them a dashboard, they demand filters. Next, they're itching for some custom views. Before you know it, you're spending more time on the analytics than the actual product itself.

That's where Semaphor comes to the rescue. It's a fully-customizable analytics package that lets you whip up interactive dashboards in your product in days, not months, and it's as simple as one line of code.

Show me the magic

You're probably wondering, "Alright, how does this magic happen?" It's as easy as 1-2-3.

1) Hook up your data source: Whether it's any SQL database or your preferred API, we've got you covered.

2) Speak naturally or go old school with your own SQL. And get this, we even support SQL over API – mind officially blown! 🤯 From there, turn that SQL into a visual.

3) Once you've crafted your masterpiece of a dashboard, commit it to Github, publish it, and voila! With just one line of code, this dashboard is ready to be woven into your app. Tailor it with your CSS so it looks like it was born and raised in your app.

<div>
   <h2>My cool dashboard</h2>
   <Dashboard authToken={authToken} id={DASHBOARD_ID} />
</div>

What once took months, maybe even longer, is now a matter of hours, thanks to Semaphor. But hold up! What about security? Fear not! We've got you covered with row and column level security to ensure sure John see's John's business and not Janes!

We are inviting trailblazers and early adopters. If you think your app needs some analytics facelift, join our waitlist by requesting access, and don't forget to explain your use case.
