It needs to be easy to access and manipulate data in a modern business. It has been difficult for a person with little experience to work with data without the help of an expert.
A mobile application that would let users get into the data themselves was built by the founders of Zing Data.
A $2.4 million seed investment was announced today by the company.
The co-founder and CEO says that they used Figma as an inspiration when creating Zing Data. Collaboration is baked in because data analysis is usually a team effort. Many people need to understand how your business works. The idea was to make it mobile so people could work with data wherever they are. It had to be accessible to all.
We wanted to make it available to everyone, without them having to pay a lot for a license, and without them knowing where to start.
He says that if you want the data analysis experts in your company to work on hard problems, then they need to ask basic questions from business users. The basic questions can be answered by those users. The way the product works is that you can connect it to a number of popular data sources and databases. Once connected, you can choose a specific data set, choose some fields to display, then manipulate the data as you please, changing aspects to see different views.
There is a web app as well as a mobile app. When you get comments from your coworkers, you can share a chart and get notifications in the app. The product is free to use for up to 10 people.

Hendlin launched the company with his friend and co- founder. When they had a working product, they decided to go all in, despite keeping their day jobs.
If there is an economic downturn, Thomas believes that a product like Zing will thrive. We are developing a solution that is geared for this environment. There will be more use of tools like us. Thomas said that companies that are penny pinching are going to rethink their vendor licenses and that a solution like ours really fits into that mold.
The company has just three employees, but are currently looking to fill four vacancies. The founders believe that hiring a diverse workforce isn't only the right thing to do, it's also smart business strategy.
A mobile experience is one of the things that helps you build a better product. If we can find the right kind of employees, we will be able to build our product in a better way.
The seed was led by a group of industry angels and Aupair.
With more data available than ever, are companies making smarter decisions?
