FineBI is a self-service BI platform that connects to databases, Excel files and APIs and detects data structures automatically. Users build dashboards with filters and drill-down or generate them from a question in plain language, without SQL. Version 7.0 adds a metric-centred framework with a Metrics Hub, metric trees, root-cause analysis via Data Agents and follow-up workflows that assign owners to metric issues. A Data Catalog provides search and previews of datasets, and FineDataLink supplies ETL and ELT. Named customers include T2, ADPIC, NTT Data Taiwan, Danfoss and TXC Corporation.

• Self-service dashboards: Drag-and-drop analysis with filters and drill-down on databases, Excel and APIs.

• Metrics Hub: Shared metric definitions and metric trees linking goals to performance drivers.
• Data Agents: Root-cause analysis of metric changes using governed metrics and semantic relationships.

A Vietnamese manufacturer can track production and quality metrics with metric trees and root-cause analysis. A securities firm can monitor accounts and commissions across branches in one real-time view. A retail chain can let regional managers build their own sales dashboards from ERP and Excel data.

Business users create dashboards and ask questions in plain language without SQL, reducing dependence on IT for routine reports. Governed metrics and metric trees give management one consistent view of performance and its drivers. The Dora AI layer can query, report, alert and follow up automatically. Regional offices across Southeast Asia provide local sales and support, and a free trial is available.

Mid-sized and large companies in Southeast Asia are moving from Excel reporting to self-service BI and now expect AI agents that explain why metrics change. Vendors with regional offices and on-premise options appeal to manufacturers and financial firms with data residency concerns.

FanRuan lists offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Hsinchu (Taiwan), Tokyo, Anyang (South Korea), Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bangkok and Abu Dhabi. It holds CMMI Level 5, received Gartner ABI Magic Quadrant Honorable Mention for three consecutive years and was on the Forbes 2021 Cloud 100 list.
