RelationalSemanticModel
Introducing Spaces
Operational data, unified by design
A deterministic pipeline that turns your recurring files into a shared, reliable data foundation.
Inputs
Files, exports, and external systems feed data into your pipeline through automated ETL.
Relational Semantic Model
Everything converges into a single unified foundation your entire team can trust and query.
Artifacts
Reports, dashboards, apps, and AI conversations — all powered by the same reliable data.
Setup
You describe how work happens.
Datanto builds the system.
A 5-minute conversation. No SQL, no ETL, no schema design, no data team. You answer business questions in plain language. Datanto generates the infrastructure.

Elicitation

Ingestion
Files in, structure out
Weekly reports, exports, and spreadsheets are validated, normalized, and loaded automatically. Smart ETL learns your file patterns and handles variations gracefully.
ETL
Extract, transform, and load data from any source automatically.
Connectors
Plug into your existing tools — CRMs, spreadsheets, APIs.
Pipelines
Automated workflows that keep your data fresh and consistent.
Versioning
Track every change. Roll back when needed. Full audit trail.
Foundation
One unified semantic model
Everything converges into a single source of truth. No more scattered spreadsheets, siloed databases, or conflicting numbers. Your entire organization queries the same data with the same definitions.
Business vocabulary
Define metrics, dimensions, and relationships using your own terminology.
Self-service queries
Anyone can explore data without writing SQL. The model translates intent into queries.
Consistent definitions
Revenue, margin, and KPIs mean the same thing everywhere — no more conflicting reports.
Governed by design
Business rules and access controls are embedded in the model itself.

Widgets
Interactive views built from your data
Create charts, tables, and KPIs by asking questions in plain language. Each widget is generated from the shared data model, updates as data changes, and is scoped automatically by role and permissions.
Every widget is fully transparent: calculations, filters, and assumptions are visible and can be verified at any time.
Forecasting, built in
Forecasting widgets are generated automatically from the same data model and stay in sync as new data arrives.
Reporting
Ready to share
Share reports with your team from a single, reliable source. Each person sees exactly what they're allowed to see, based on role and scope.
Reports update in real time as new data arrives. They work on desktop and mobile, and can be exported to Excel or PDF when needed.
One report. One source of truth. Different views for different roles.
