Tableau
Interactive reports and dashboards on data from Salesforce, ERP and other systems — so management sees how the business is doing without waiting for IT or building spreadsheets by hand.
We implement Tableau for management, analysts and teams that build reports by hand in Excel today. We start from the decisions that need to be made and the metrics they require, then connect the data sources and build dashboards people actually open.
Companies in the study achieved a 275% return on investment over three years, with payback in under six months, and business users saved three hours a week each.

What else you get with Tableau
Decisions based on data, not assumptions
Sales, finance and operations look at the same numbers in the same reports, so meetings aren't spent arguing over whose spreadsheet is right.
Data on a map
Sales by region, store networks or delivery routes are shown on a map, so differences between territories are visible at a glance.
Maps tailored to your business
Cities, postal codes and regional boundaries are built in, and you can add your own geographic layers, heat maps and flow maps.
Reports on your phone too
Dashboards adapt to the screen, so managers can check the numbers from their phones without a separate version of the report.
Tableau Pulse: key numbers come to you
Instead of you opening reports, Tableau Pulse sends you changes in key metrics and explains them in words, and you can ask questions in plain language.
Reports that tell a story
Charts, filters and comments come together in a presentation that leads from the problem to the conclusion, ready for the management meeting.
A chart for every question
Besides bar and pie charts, there are Gantt charts, histograms, treemaps and more, and the Show Me feature suggests the one that fits your data.
Trends and forecasts
Trend lines and time-series forecasts take just a few clicks, as a basis for plans and budgets.
Frequently asked questions about Tableau
What is Tableau?
Tableau is a visual data analysis and reporting tool that is part of Salesforce. It turns data from multiple sources into interactive dashboards that even people who can't code can use.
Does Tableau work only with Salesforce data?
No. Tableau also connects to databases, ERP, Excel and cloud data warehouses, so the same report can show sales from Salesforce and invoices from ERP.
What is the difference between Tableau and Salesforce reports?
Salesforce reports are enough for day-to-day views of CRM data. Tableau makes sense when you combine multiple sources, run deeper analyses or build reports for management.
How is Tableau licensed?
Per user, by role: Creators build reports, Explorers analyze and edit them, and Viewers read and interact with them. Tableau runs in the cloud (Tableau Cloud) or on your own server (Tableau Server).
How long does a Tableau implementation take?
It depends on the number of sources and the state of the data. We usually start with one area, such as sales, and a few key dashboards, then expand once people are using them.
