2023-Japan-Zing Data

ZACK HENDLIN: Hi, everybody. My name's Zack. I'm co-founder and CEO of Zing Data. And we're the first platform that lets you analyze, visualize, and collaborate with your data from anywhere. You don't need a computer. You don't need code. All of this happens in real time on iOS, Android, or the web.

I'm at MIT MBA and was a statistics undergrad at Berkeley and realized what many of you have realized, which is it's actually really hard to use data in the field, make real-time decisions, and get action to be taken on it. So Zing's fast, collaborative, business intelligence that works anywhere. By fast, I mean you can query any major database-- Google BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL, and a bunch of others-- in less than 10 seconds with a quick visual query interface.

By collaborative, we have shared questions and at mentions. So let's say inventory drops below 10 units and you want to make sure you don't run out. You can at mention or tag your colleague. They'll get a push notification to take action. And by works anywhere, we've built it from the ground up to work well on mobile. What that means is if you have an iffy internet connection or you have a long-running query, we've built a machine learning model and a query intelligence layer that will ensure that we actually cache the results so that they're available when you're back online.

The problem we're solving is one that you see every day. There's folks in factories, supply chains, and throughout your companies who are not primarily at a computer all the time. In fact it's 70% of the global workforce. There's also, though, all of you, managers, executives, leaders, who want real-time insights into what's happening with your business. And you don't just want a dashboard that's emailed to you once a day. You want minute-by-minute alerts when something important happens.

So that's what we've built. Compared to everything out there, we're the only platform that lets you not just view existing dashboards and questions, but create questions on iOS, Android, Windows, and Macs. And to give you a sense of what it looks like, I'll show you this. This is Zing's mobile app.

I'm going to go look at my support tickets. This isn't an existing dashboard. I'm asking this from scratch. I'm going to sum hours worked, and I'm going to look at that by topic. Zing runs this live on my cloud data warehouse. And I can easily add filters or other conditions.

Zing automatically regraghs it now that I have multiple group bys. With this analysis, I see I'm spending a lot of time on billing. So I want to use this to drop into a presentation that I'm going to give later today. I saved on that image, drop it into my presentation, all from my phone.

Great. But now I want to do more to manage my business from wherever I am. So I'm going to tag my colleague Maria. She's in my corporate directory. And I tag her and ask her to go create billing content so that we can reduce support time spent on this. She gets a push notification and is invited to this collaborative question. All this happens on mobile in real time.

Now I'm going to do something else. I'm going to go look at how users of my app or website are engaging with my content. So I'm going to go to this list of raw events, raw analytics events, and get the count of events over time. You'll see Zing automatically recognizes this as a timestamp and casts it as a day. I can do things like relative dates without needing to know SQL or how to code.

Great. Now I have a time series up to the minute of events in my factory or user actions. I can interactively create alerts and notifications. So whenever I have more than 10 orders in a minute, I will get a push notification. And this can happen up to every minute. So this is real-time alerts in your pocket, whether you're on a factory floor, supply chain, or wherever else.

If you'd like, you have the full power of SQL in a type ahead. And let me show you one final thing that we're really excited about and shipped a couple of weeks ago. You've heard about ChatGPT. We actually just shipped the ability to query using natural language. So I'm going to dictate which products are sold out. Zing connects to open AI, converts that to SQL, and runs that query. If I want, I can actually see the SQL that was run.

So we made it really easy to ask questions from anywhere. And here's how folks are using it today. We have the largest genetic testing company for animals using Zing to track their models and update them over time. We have a major Japanese semiconductor manufacturing looking at how the cost of different acquisition channels is trending so they can make real-time decisions. They've connected us to their large Google BigQuery data set. And they're making this data available to anybody in the organization to use in real time.

What this means for you is a better bottom line, up to a 40% reduction in the ad hoc asks to a business intelligence or analytics team because people can answer the questions on their own. And this is serving the need your existing tools don't already have. In fact, more than 60% of all usage on Zing happens on mobile. Though, of course, we do have web support.

So we'd love to work with you on pilots and to help your businesses go from daily exports and static dashboards to real-time analytics that you can use in the field to better serve your customers. We'll be over there, and we'd love to talk to you. We have a free tier, as well as we can run on prem and work with any of you to fine tune Zing to meet your needs. Thank you.
