A new article out of the company reports, “Looker, the company that is powering data-driven businesses, today announced Looker Data Apps, analytical applications for business units and departments. Looker Data Apps have been developed from years of experience building custom applications for data-leading companies, including innovative brands like Kohler and Gilt Groupe, industry disruptors like HubSpot and Warby Parker, as well as tech giants Sony and Yahoo!. Now businesses can quickly deploy one data platform to serve all business functions, making it easy for teams to operationalize their insights and turn data into business results.”
The article continues, “Looker Data Apps give key business functions and departments, as well as a number of industries, a competitive edge by equipping them with the data they need to run their business. Looker Data Apps are deployed on top of the Looker Data Platform at no additional cost. Instead of relying on isolated departmental tools with historical reports, the entire company can use Looker to understand each aspect of their business with up-to-the-minute data to make data-driven decisions.”
James Sandora, Director of Digital Strategy & Integration at Kohler, commented, “For over 140 years, Kohler Co. has focused on driving leading-edge technology and innovation to help maintain our leadership position and relevancy with customers… Looker collaborated with us to reinvent our approach to understanding volumes of data. We now have a universal interface into all of our key data, including third-party, giving us a thorough and comprehensive view of the marketplace. We can make even faster, more well-informed decisions than before. It’s been so positive that we plan to integrate this capability within many other business functions.”
