The only cloud data preparation tool built for the consumer goods market

A 2016 Gartner study revealed that data analysts and data scientists spend 80% of their time preparing data rather than analyzing it. A typical data analyst only gets one day a week to actually analyze data and develop insights – a huge waste of talent and resources. Koala's Data Prep module is an intelligent data preparation solution that frees data analysts and their organizations from the time-consuming process of manually preparing data. 

Koala Data Prep is the first cloud-based data preparation tool designed from the ground up for CPG-specific data sets. Businesses of any size can use the tool to extract, normalize, cleanse, integrate, profile, and visually explore their data sets. Routine data preparation tasks can be quickly and easily automated.
