Run it on your own data
- In the browser (today)Free, no sign-up. What you enter stays on your device. Good for trying it and for small teams.
- On your files or databasePoint the same logic at your exports or a database view (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Azure SQL or DuckDB), on your own machine or network.
- As a pipeline and warehouseA scheduled ETL job pulls from your systems (reservations, point of sale, inventory, payroll) into a star-schema warehouse, runs data-quality checks, and the tool or a Power BI report reads the result every morning.
What that adds here
- Join time-clock and sales or occupancy data in a warehouse so the numbers update daily
How I'd set it up for you
I'd map your exports or database to the tool's model, package the job in a container that runs on your server or cloud account, add the checks your data needs, and hand over the code and a runbook. Your data stays on your systems. Get in touch if you'd like it fitted to your business.
