Yellowfin BI

Yellowfin BI is a business intelligence and embedded analytics platform for building reports, dashboards, data stories, and analytics experiences inside other software products. It covers the analytics workflow from connecting and preparing data through reporting, visualization, automated monitoring, and sharing insights, with a particular emphasis on embedded and white-labeled analytics for software vendors.

1. Reporting and dashboards: Yellowfin lets users connect and prepare data, create reports and visualizations, assemble interactive dashboards, and distribute analytical content. Its dashboard environment supports flexible layouts, collaboration, alerts, and actions that can connect analytics with operational workflows.
2. AI and automated analysis: Yellowfin 9.18 introduces Conversational Analytics, bringing its AI capabilities into an interface where users can ask questions about data in natural language and generate reports or interactive data stories. The platform also includes Assisted Insights for automated explanations and Signals for monitoring data and surfacing significant changes or anomalies.
3. Embedded analytics: software companies can embed reports, dashboards, self-service analytics, alerts, and AI-driven insights within their own applications. Yellowfin supports white labeling and integration through options including its JavaScript API and secure iFrames, making customer-facing analytics a significant part of its product positioning.
4. Data storytelling and monitoring: Yellowfin Stories and Present add narrative context to analytical findings, while Signals continuously monitors selected data for important changes. This gives organizations alternatives to relying solely on static dashboards and scheduled reports.

Yellowfin BI is particularly relevant to enterprises that need reporting, dashboards, automated analysis, and data storytelling in one environment, as well as software vendors that want to deliver branded analytics inside their own products rather than build an analytics layer from scratch.
