Trusted semantic layer

Centralized metric definitions ensure every report shows the same numbers, eliminating the "different numbers in different reports" problem that erodes stakeholder trust.

True self-service analytics

Business users explore data through governed, drag-and-drop exploration — no more defaulting to Excel or flooding analysts with ad-hoc requests.

Flexible, canvas-based dashboards

Go beyond QuickSight's basic charting with rich visualizations, custom layouts, and interactive drill-downs that match how your teams actually consume data.

Git-based version control

Track every change with full audit trails, branching, and code reviews. No more guessing who changed what or working from outdated reports.

Scales without per-user friction

Share dashboards and exploration broadly without per-user seat costs becoming a bottleneck, so you don't have to limit who gets access to data.

QuickSight works, until your organization scales

Users can't answer their own data questions

Data Team is overwhelmed with ad-hoc requests from business users.

Frustrated users export to Excel, scattering data even further.

Analysts can’t define metrics consistently

The same metric shows different values across reports.

Business users end up losing trust in the data.

No one knows who changed what and when

Changes get lost, and teams end up working from reports.

Analysts spend more time tracking changes than analyzing data.

How Holistics solves
Quicksight's limitations

Data teams define metrics once, manage them centrally in a semantic layer, and apply Git version control. Business users explore data and build reports in a curated environment without needing to write SQL.

Semantic Layer

Define analytics logic in one single place

Define reusable data models, datasets, and metrics in a shared, accessible semantic layer to ensure consistent definitions across all reports.

This gives your organization a golden source of truth, ensuring everyone works with trusted data.

The semantic layer is Holistics' biggest draw because I was able to build reusable models, dimensions, metrics, and then describe them as code.

Git Version Control

Track every dashboard change with Git

Know who changes what and when.

Commit your analytics code to Git version control and track every change with full audit trails. Perform branching and code reviews to ensure accurate analytics workflow.

Everything about Holistics resonated very well with our software engineers. They can write code to describe BI logic, check them into Git version control, and make the whole process more maintainable.

Reusable Analytics

Build reusable analytics components

Parameterize your reporting widgets and dashboard components using variables, and reuse them anytime, anywhere.

No more rebuilding dashboards for every new data request. Analysts can now focus on data work that drives impact.

“Holistics effectively allows us to be repeatable. We add a new client, copy and paste all the data models, and change the data source. Done!”

Insight Director, Retail Insight

Empower everyone to explore data
with metrics they can trust

Data Exploration

Go beyond static dashboards with interactive exploration

Explore what's behind your metrics with powerful interactions like Drill Down, Change Breakdown, and View Underlying Data.

Give business users the flexibility to analyze data without ever exporting to Excel.

Canvas-Based Dashboard

Build reports and dashboards flexibly

Build reports from curated datasets with a simple drag-and-drop interface.

Add and arrange visualizations, filters, and text on a blank canvas to create context-rich dashboards.

“Holistics is our go-to platform for analyzing and sharing company data reports due to its deceptive ease of use, customizable filters, efficiency, and more. Our non-technical teams all love Holistics.”
