Parabola

Allow me to reintroduce myself: Parabola is the spreadsheet alternative where you combine the data running throughout your company and create automated processes. Parabola’s got a new and improved look and message, and we’re so excited to finally show what we’ve been working on. Our CEO and founder Alex Yaseen wrote about the “why” behind it all, and it’s all about showcasing the amazing things our customers have brought to life.

POV: You’re still living in spreadsheets and are curious about how other operators are actually leveraging automation and AI. We have good news. In celebration of our latest product launch, which brings BI-tool capabilities to operators, we’re sharing free access to sample Flows that highlight three of our most common use cases: 🚛 Parcel invoice audit: Audit DHL parcel invoices against a rate card.  📦 Inventory reconciliation: Compare inventory levels across Shopify, Netsuite, and ShipHero. 🛍️ Order consolidation: Standardize and consolidate orders from Amazon and Shopify — plus report on sales by channel/SKU. Hard to imagine how an operations team could automate these processes without tech resources? Check out this ops sandbox where you can see how companies like Brooklinen and Caraway run each of these processes in Parabola: https://lnkd.in/eCMv7UAi

What would it feel like if your warehouse SLAs, NPS score, product reviews, customer experience metrics, and revenue potential were trending up and to the right? Why don’t you ask Claire McCarthy, the Director of Logistics and Operations Great Jones? Great Jones uses Parabola for inventory reporting, order management, and fulfillment scorecarding, and according to Claire, they’re “better for it.” It has a real trickle-down effect on the metrics she tracks every day. We recently sat down with the team at Great Jones to learn more about what they’ve built in Parabola, and the answer is quite a lot. It all started with a holiday season that left them scrambling at the last minute. Now? “All we have to do is reference our Flows and let Parabola do the work. We now know going into any peak season that we won’t lose the reporting and the ability to act and be nimble when there’s so much being thrown at you because Parabola consolidates the data and makes it tangible and easy to access. So it relieves a lot of stress in making sure all data is known to everybody,” Claire told us. We love hearing stories like this from our customers, and we like sharing them even more.

In the world of supply chain, many things are opaque. Multi-colored shipping containers filling ports and highways. Sprawling, windowless warehouses filled with fluorescent lights. And also where your shipment is and who the best partners are to get the job done. For most brands, inbound freight tracking and management requires significant full-time resources and manual work across systems — plus partnerships with multiple carriers and 3PLs. We chatted with leaders in the space to see how they're staying resilient despite challenges like high freight costs, pending strikes, canal blockages…and holiday season on the horizon.

What has AI done for you lately? We just went live with a new way to put it to work. Starting today, AI can analyze all of your Parabola Flows and automatically add detailed documentation to every step across all of your processes. This update brings Flows even closer to being living, breathing process overviews that give our best customers unparalleled visibility into every in-the-weeds step of their process. Gone are the days of outdated SOPs, messy process handoffs, and questions like, “how the #$*@ do I do this in Excel?” Want to see auto-documentation in action? Try it out with sample data by clicking the link in the comments 👇

Need 316 steps to build out your dream Flow? We got you. Not only can Parabola support whatever custom logic your business processes require — from 2 steps to 316 — we've just launched the mini-map to make the building process that much more seamless. If step 1 of your Flow is on the top right of the canvas, but step 22 is somewhere near the equator, use the mini-map to find the part of your Flow that needs attention so you can keep building. See the mini-map in action here ✨
