Kippy was born on the Cloud! And if you're wondering what that really means then you're in for a treat.

​

Traditionally, applications and systems would collect your data and make it very difficult to interact with it or interface to it. 

​

The modern approach is to secure your data, and allow fully flexibility to the things you trust interact with it, safely and easily. 

​

As well as providing web apis for ultimate flexibility and microapps for tailored journeys, kippy also provides you with reusable components to integrate to your data and a platform to create and extend those components. 

​

Three such types of components are functions, adapters and integrations:

​

​

Functions

​

A function allows you to manipulate your data in kippy in a data driven way. So a user can state, that the value of KPI A equals the value of KPI B plus the value of KPI C.

​

These formulas are entered by the user in the KPI definition in kippy - just like an Excel formula.

​

A wide range of functions are supported, including Add, Subtract, Divide, Multiply, Ratio, Percentage, Average, etc. 

​

Also, the copy function can be used to make the Actual the same as the Actual for another KPI from the same or different Team. 

 

For example, setting the formula on a specific KPI in the CEO team to :
 

=cloud.kippy.copy("Sales","Items Sold")

​

will copy the Actual of the ‘items sold’ KPI from the Sales team and set it to that specific KPI in the CEO team.

​

We can add more functions. And YOU can add more functions! And macros! Just like Excel!

​

​

Adapters

​

An adapter is like a formula except that it allows you to source your actual from another system. So a user setting up a KPI can state that the data source for:

​

- a 'Items sold' KPI comes from your sales system

- a 'No. of defects' comes from a production build system

- a 'Project burndown' come from a PMO system

- etc. 

​

These adapters can be set up to pull, push and poll. And as well as our existing adapters ... yes, YOU can add more!

​

These links provide more details of the proof of concepts to integrated with Oracle JD Edwards and Microsoft Dynamics 365. See here for a video of the PoC output.

Integrations

​

​

​

Kippy already has many in built deep integrations. For example to Slack (for collaboration), Google (for sign in) and Zapier (for virtually everything!)

​

But we also provide custom integrations to your existing/internal systems - quickly and robustly joining up your business processes - without over reliance on your internal IT capability. 

​

So whether that's:

​

- sourcing data from your PMO tooling

- pushing notifications to your task management system

- mixing performance data from your ERP

- feeding your BI and dashboards

- live feeds from your production systems,

- etc.

​

... we've got you covered!
