Summary

In 2020, ThePowerMBA, recognized as the Best Spanish Startup by LinkedIn, revolutionized its financial reporting by adopting Retool for real-time analytics, moving away from a laborious and error-prone manual process. Previously, Gonzalo Plaza, the Data Lead, manually processed financial data over several days, which hindered the company's ability to gain timely insights into its financial health. By integrating data from MongoDB into Retool, ThePowerMBA now offers team members a comprehensive dashboard for real-time visualization of financial data, allowing for detailed analysis by various parameters such as time frames, courses, and customer details. This transformation not only enhances the accuracy of financial reporting but also empowers the company to make informed, data-driven decisions, with the potential for further integration of marketing data to measure campaign impacts in real-time. Additionally, Gonzalo has expanded the use of Retool beyond financial reporting by creating a sales tool that streamlines the process of generating custom purchase links, further contributing to the organization's data-driven culture and growth.
