Analytical ApplicationsRemote WorkshopsOpen Source Development

Analytical apps deliver insight and value; they capture imagination and promote inspiration. They are the human sensory layer for data, analytics, and ML. Our clients choose Plotly for analytical apps because we’re unbeatable in 3 core areas:

⏱Speed and efficiency of delivery: Our customers are consistently blown away by our beautiful and responsive analytical apps delivered in days, not months.

📚Expertise: We have worked on hundreds of projects in the finance, tech, oil & gas, manufacturing, and government sectors. Your project can’t be in better hands.

🏆Future Proof: We use Open Source technologies and utilize frameworks like Python and R that data scientists already use and understand.

Plotly’s Consulting & Training empowers data scientists to become one-person armies, cutting out full-stack multi-team engineering efforts and boosting productivity enormously. Our workshops are fully remote and customized to your use case. Here are a few results from recent “empowerment” workshops:

💻Replacing Spotfire: We recently upskilled a data analytics team with little programming knowledge to replace static Spotfire views with dynamic, mission-critical Dash applications.

📊Going Beyond Excel: We enabled a lean team of analysts to migrate a heavy Excel workbook into a beautiful, interactive Dash application, streamlining their workflow.

Plotly develops and maintains the fastest growing, most popular open source visualization and application development libraries like plotly.js, plotly.py, and Dash. By engaging with Plotly, organizations can ensure that the features they need will be available when they need it. Here are a few examples:

📈New Chart Types: Scattermapbox, Choroplethmapbox, Carpet, Splom, and WebGL-enabled scatter plots are just some of the charts we're working on.

🚜Performance: Plotting millions of scatter points, rebuilding SVG-based charts with WebGL, and server-side pagination—funded directly for customers.

📋Interactive DataTable: Dash’s DataTable project was funded directly by three public & private organizations as an MIT licensed, Dash-native spreadsheet.

Recent Projects

Orica - BlastIQ

Orica was looking to improve the blasting and drilling process for their mining operations. They needed to better visualize the execution of actual vs modelled blast data. Plotly's Consulting & Training delivered a Dash app that provided valuable information on the mining tolerances and established a benchmark for improvement.

Dex Clothing - MNIST Explorer

Dex Clothing needed to optimize their garment-sorting process. Plotly's Consulting & Training helped Dex implement an AI visual search system to better categorize their garment images. The result of this Dash app was an automated image categorization process and streamlined supply chain operations.

S&P - Trucost

Plotly's Consulting & Training helped S&P transition to Python and build rich interactive reports through Dash Enterprise, streamlining their workflow.

“It was a pleasure working with Plotly. The Trucost team is excited to have expanded capabilities that support conveying insights to companies and institutions on how the private sector is impacting and contributing to global progress towards sustainability.” —Rochelle March (S&P)

Major Canadian Retailer - Demand Transference

A major Canadian retailer wanted to elevate their inventory management system. They needed an automated way to analyze seasonality, location, and consumer buying behaviour. Plotly's Consulting & Training created a Dash app that utilizes Sankey data vis to solve the demand transference problem and optimize their retail operations.
