Tableau
Advanced analysis for everyone,
with intuitive controls.
Tableau, from Salesforce, is a BI platform known for its powerful visual expression. Intuitive drag and drop makes complex analysis possible, and it shines for organizations with dedicated analytics teams or a need for advanced visualization. It also works naturally with Salesforce data, covering sales analysis end to end.
What you can do with Tableau
-
Tableau Desktop (visual analysis)
Intuitive drag and drop turns even complex data into rich visuals, enabling serious analysis without specialist knowledge.
-
Tableau Prep (data preparation)
Join, clean and shape multiple data sources in a visual workflow, cutting the prep work before analysis begins.
-
Tableau Server / Cloud (sharing)
Publish dashboards across the organization and share them under managed permissions, on-premises or in the cloud.
-
Ask Data / Explain Data
Ask Data answers questions in plain language and Explain Data uses AI to explain what drives changes in the numbers, delivering insights without analytics expertise.
-
Salesforce integration
Connects seamlessly with Salesforce CRM data, so you can analyze the sales pipeline and customer service status alongside data from other departments.
-
Custom visualization
Combine a wide range of chart types, such as maps, scatter plots and tree maps, for analysis standard charts can’t express.
Issues
Even with a BI tool in place, do these challenges remain?
Complex data is hard to visualize, so explaining it to management takes time
Standard charts can’t convey the insights you need, so every presentation means reworking charts by hand.
Each analyst uses the tool differently, and output quality is uneven
The same data looks very different depending on who analyzes it, so it isn’t a stable basis for decisions.
You want departments beyond sales to use Salesforce data, but integration falls short
Deal and customer data in the CRM stays within sales and hasn’t spread to management or marketing.
Tableau solves all of these at once.
Benefits
Advanced visualization, with a specialist team beside you from day one.
