Track Our Startup: What’s DaaS? + Infusionsoft ICON16 + Slideshows

Another week goes by and a ton of stuff is happening! With releases happening every other week, (sometimes every week!) we’re on our software toes. James is even asking to “go dark” and not talk to anyone for a few weeks so he can solve some opportunities our Sales Director Mimi is bringing to the table. A great problem to have I’ll say.

We’re knee deep in DaaS meetings. What’s DaaS? It’s our own Dasheroo term for “Dashboards-as-a-Service”. If you have a SaaS product and you want to incorporate Dasheroo dashboards into it, we’ll oblige! You can imagine a lot of marketing SaaS companies that have priorities other than upgrading their marketing dashboards might love this. If you’ve got one of those companies give us a call!

Dasheroo dashboards slideshow

You’ll be able to easily show off your Dasheroo dashboards on a rotating slideshow!

Scrollable Insights you ask? Working on it! If you want to see more data within a given insight on your dashboards and you want to scroll within an insight, we’re in the process of defining with that is so our engineering team can give us the thumbs up or down.

Slideshows is one of our most requested features is that you can rotate your dashboards automatically on a big screen.

We’re going to change up pricing at some point to a per-user model. Why? We need to make money! Will we stop our free offering? No way. You’ll always have access to that. This does pose some architecture re-jiggering that our product and engineering folks are working on as it relates to roles & permissions requirements. More on that as we know it.

We’re still working on our next integrations for Hubspot, Sendgrid and Mixpanel. Working hard.

We’re heading to ICON16 on March 1-3, Infusionsoft’s amazing annual conference for small businesses. If you’re going to it in Phoenix, drop me a line, love to meet you there. Did you know we integrate with Infusionsoft? You can get a 1-month free trial of all of our Infusionsoft dashboards!

We’re knee deep in our investor deck, we are having a ton of meeting with interested people. Nuff said.

Back to work!

Dasheroo Demoing Lightning App Builder at Dreamforce

We’ve been talking about a secret project we’ve been working on behind the scenes here at Dasheroo and we couldn’t be more excited about it! All of the projects we have been working on with regards to responsive design and OAuth are releasing!

Imagine if you’re in your favorite application that’s your go-to app every day. All you want to do is place “components” from other applications in that beloved app. Let’s say that beloved app is Salesforce.com and you want your Dasheroo business dashboards to be viewable in your Salesforce account.

Introducing “Components” by Salesforce. Using their nifty technology they call the Lightning App Builder (nod to the cloud) they just announced, we got our Dasheroo KPI dashboards to be viewable right in a Salesforce account on a mobile device!

Why is this so freaking cool?Dasheroo's new Salesforce.com lightning component

  • It’s right in time for Dreamforce, Salesforce.com’s annual event in San Francisco.
  • Josh and I are demoing it at Dreamforce this week at the Marriott Marquis in SF at 8am on Wednesday. C’mon by!
  • We got to work with new technology from Salesforce
  • BIG DEAL: This enables us to have our insights and dashboards anywhere! James calls it Dashboards-as-a-Service (DaaS). Think about taking your important metrics and putting them on any web page or in any app that will accept “widgets”.

Ok, off to the show tomorrow, see you there! #DF15
