Einsights: Discovering Valuable Insights from Business Data
Sandeep Rao, Chief Executive Officer Sandeep Rao, Chief Executive Officer, Einsights,founded Einsights in 2012 to build a Business Intelligence solution that provides cross functional insights to corporates through a revolutionary user interface. Headquartered in Singapore, Einsights provides a full-stack analytics solutions to businesses of all size. Sandeep explains that their core differentiator is Simplicity “Simplicity is part of our DNA, and this shows in everything we do from our product design to the user experience.” Whilst most Business Intelligence tools are designed for the analyst, Einsights is crafted specifically for the Executive.
Einsights addresses a growing business challenge in that data will increase at an unprecedented rate,overwhelming companies in trying to make sense out of it. Enterprises often implement custom business analytical tools (Excel!) to connect data across different departmental silos. However, for most businesses, implementing an analytical tool is considered either too expensive or time consuming. As a result, they avoid implementing one, resulting in a lack of access to insightful data required to make informed decisions.
This is reflected in some of the customer kudos Einsights has received. According to Peter Tsih, Chief Executive Officer (Hong Kong), Global Wealth Solutions, Willis Towers Watson “Before Einsights, I often had to spend hours manipulating spreadsheets to extract the necessary information to make strategic decisions. Now, information retrieval is almost instantaneous thus allowing strategic decisions to be made faster and with greater confidence.” In addition, Renato Mota, Group General Manager Wealth Management at IOOF, the Australian based insurance company mentions “IOOF has adopted Einsights for analysis of our revenue and funds under advice. We are impressed by the intuitive nature of their software, and how it helps to simplify executive decision making."

In addition, the tool predicts revenue based on historical wins/losses and the deals in the pipeline.Customers can now gather real-time sales statistic on either their computer or mobile devices, enabling sales team to make informed business decisions.According to Sandeep, “These analytical capabilities are simply not available as part of most CRM solutions leaving Sales Directors and Managers in the dark when figuring out the optimal way to achieve sales targets”.
