Core Features:

Guided Analytics:
Toucan makes analytics accessible to business users by provisioning the guidance they need to use data for decision-making without the need for training. Business users are walked through the selection of data, charts, and layouts quickly so that the focus is on the data story, not the design mechanics. All charts and visualizations contain critical context such as definitions and sources as well as actions such as annotations and collaboration either inside Toucan or in tools like Slack or MS Teams.

Best For: Business users that need to see consistent analytics to track performance rather than perform ad hoc data exploration

Embedded Analytics:
The Toucan platform allows easy embedding into SaaS products using either web components or iFrames and can be performed by even non-expert users. Changes can be moved from staging to production with a single toggle and the platform contains robust adoption management tools for on-boarding and the automation of core user management tasks.
Extensive white-labeling customization capabilities allow customers to make the end experience look and feel like an extension of the company brand and include color palettes, typefaces, languages, logos, and background imagery.
Best For: Product teams that want to extend analytics to customers or partners, including collaboration, annotation, and storytelling capabilities without extensive development

Easy Data Connections:
Toucan includes hundreds of connectors for all manner of data sources including Snowflake, MongoDB, Excel, Salesforce, and others. Connectors are easily configured by business users and no code is needed to perform data connections.
