What is Konstrukt?
Our no-code cloud platform leverages the familiar concepts from your data environment and will have you up and running in no time, whatever your need!
Konstrukt can add value to your data stack in multiple ways. Use it side by side with your analytics tools to provide an interface for end users to enter, review or approve data in processes like financial budget, forecast, sales planning, etc.
Data in Konstrukt is structured as dimensions and facts (we call them Valuetypes) which makes it really easy to push data from your data warehouse to Konstrukt, e g sync dimension tables or provide suggestions or reference data for a planning process. Konstrukt also comes with some really nifty integration features, so no special connectors or messy scripting is needed.
Getting the data out from Konstrukt is just as simple. It's already structured the way you want it, and we provide SQL access and predefined queries, which any ELT/ETL tool can consume.
Added together, this means you can get rid of all those spreadsheets floating around and messing up your data flows.

How to Konstrukt?
1
Create your data model
Define your dimensions with whatever properties you need. Then just add whatever sets of data you want (psst, we call that Valuetypes).
2
Set up some apps
For users to view or edit data, just set up some apps with a lot of sexy pivot tables.
3
Add some logic
Now the fun begins. Our calculation engine allows you to set rules that will apply to the data in real time (imagine the lovechild of spreadsheet formulas and ETL scripts in SQL).
4
Share with colleagues
Just set your accesses (use whatever dimension you want) and start inviting colleagues to help you input stuff.
5
Automate integrations
We provide simple tools to quickly automate data imports to Konstrukt. And getting the finished data out is just as easy.
Yes, sometimes. When you need to do something ad hoc a spreadsheet is your best friend. Another benefit is that spreadsheets are common knowledge and therefore flexible and can be changed when needed. But set a process built on spreadsheets in production and the drawbacks comes quickly.
Our goal with Konstrukt is to maintain the flexibility of spreadsheets, but at the same time add the benefits of structure, giving you the ability to both adapt and change when needed while at the same time removing risks of error and all manual work of updating and consolidating data.

Sorry, probably not. In order to make Konstrukt both structured and flexible, we've leverages the concepts from the data world. Where Excel is a matrix which by definition has two dimensions (one down, one across), Konstrukt stores all data in tables (we call them Valuetypes), allowing an infinite number of Dimensions. The data can then be presented for viewing and editing in pivottables - just like a pivottable in Excel, but in Konstrukt you can edit the values.
Instead of the formulas in Excel which references a cell or ranges of cells, the Calculations in Konstrukt let's you combine data from multiple Valuetypes, apply your formula and the output will be written back to another Valuetype. Only since this is multidimensional, it much more powerful than Excel.
So what we're saying it that if you've only with working with data in Excel, there are probably some new ways of thinking. But don't worry, the interface is well designed and neat, so you'll get the hang of it quickly.
PS. If you've played around with data in SQL, you'll probably pick up the concepts straight away. DS.

For a start, all these tools aspire to be a one stop shop for the finance department, which includes a fair share of reporting, analysis, drilldown, dashboarding, etc. The BI-stuff. Konstrukt doesn't try to overlap your BI-tools, but rather complement them with the stuff they lack. This makes Konstrukt much more lightweight and quicker to deploy, as well as a better fit in your data architecture.
In terms of features around data entry, planning, simulations and modeling, Konstrukt is just as powerful as the big players mentioned. Only much cheaper, sleeker and neater. Also, it doesn't require a year long project to roll out.
PS. If you're afraid of losing your job cause you chose the wrong tool, just increase your budget 20x and buy Oracle. ;) DS.
