Looks interesting.

A few suggestions for useful features: Time Series functionality would be handy (Exponentially weighted moving average, centered moving average etc).

Aggregations across sliding intervals (by shift / by day/week/month/ Finical year etc). Being able to quickly answer questions like What is the production for week to date, current shift etc. How about previous week/shift etc.

One other comment I will give is I find SQL to be useful as a protection against product lock-in. It's essentially the lowest common denominator language for dealing with data extraction/transformation etc. Our business has been burnt before by having our reporting/BI written in a tool specific language it made migrating away from the product very difficult. Ever since I've very much been of the mindset to do as much using SQL as possible.



Hi,

We already support the most basic sliding intervals: day, week, month, quarter, year. Custom ones would be convenient, I agree.

Check the menu when you hover the header of the column "week confirmed_at" here: http://insights-demo.mariusandra.com/explorer?columns=Order....

The plan is to add a view called "generated SQL", where you can see and copy/export the raw query that went into generating the data. This way you can always validate the data and get some "insight" into how it's fetched.
