Building dashboards for customers to track analytics is always a secondary function for businesses or developers; it’s not their core area of expertise & often takes considerable energy & resources.
What Is Explo
Understanding this pain point, Explo.co has developed an analytics API (Application Programming Interface) that works to display data for a business’ client. These customer facing dashboards are very easy to embed the solution into almost any existing application.
Who Developed It
The API is the brainchild of co-founders CEO Gary Lin, COO Andrew Chen, CTO Rohan Varma & product designer Carly Stanisic. The platform is based in San Francisco, USA.
The developers needed to build an analytics dashboard for an application they were building & realized that the difficulty they encountered was probably fairly common. As a result they launched Explo to assist businesses and other developers with a solution that covers all the bases, is completely configurable for specific use cases, & plugs into existing infrastructure via an API.
Who Is It For?
