A few weeks ago, we did a post about Netflix—and, in particular, the shows and movies we all watch on the popular streaming service. Since then, “Stranger Things 4” dropped, and it’s already breaking records. So, we decided to take another look at our Netflix viewing habits, especially as they relate to the sci-fi horror series that may be as nostalgic as it is scary. Let’s start with the numbers from the first week that “Stranger Things 4” was available. In the United States, one season or another ... Read More

When Harmons Grocery, a regional supermarket company, used a data app to move the database for 4,000 of its top-selling products to the fingertips of its inventory managers and suppliers, out-of-stock problems plunged by 60%—even during the height of the pandemic.

And when a Fortune 50 apparel manufacturer and retailer put its inventory data ... Read More

So, we figured it would be worth revisiting by focusing on a key question at hand: “How do we know when inflation is getting better?” To answer, we must first ask how inflation—the year-over-year (YoY) change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)—has changed from one month to the next, which is exactly what the following chart addresses, starting from January 2020. As you can see, there was a small drop in ... Read More

After all, if you know what your customers think about you or your product, you can more easily move in a direction that meets your target market’s wants and needs.  Domo has a pretty good idea as to what its customers think about its platform thanks—in part, at least—to TrustRadius, an organization that compiles reviews of software solutions so that business leaders can make more informed technology purchasing decisions.  But that’s not all TrustRadius does. It also doles out reviews-based awards every May. And in ... Read More

And since there’s all kinds of great data around one of the country’s great pastimes, we decided for this week’s post to look at Major League Baseball (MLB) attendance statistics from the last 20 years, which is published on many websites including the one we used to get the data you’ll find in the charts below: ESPN.com.To collect the attendance data from ESPN, we used Jupyter Workspaces (currently in beta in Domo) and the Python package Beautiful Soup to parse the HTML. And since Domo ...

These solutions power everything from HR systems and inventory control to communication and demand control software. The dozens—if not hundreds or even thousands—of applications that work together in intricate ways are critical components of most organizations.
