Penguin Platform

Analytics Foundation as a Service

Built for small and medium sized teams who need great analytics capabilities, but not full enterprise platforms.

From simple dashboards to advanced ML models—scale your analytics capabilities without the up-front risk and cost of hiring an infra team.

🐧
"Penguins thrive in tough environments by focusing on what matters most. They don't do everything, but are perfectly adapted to do what they do."

Penguin Platform works similarly: smart, resilient and open-source. Designed for the needs of small and medium-sized data teams.

We focus on what you actually need.

Why not just build a traditional enterprise data platform instead?

Building an internal analytics platform is expensive, time-consuming and risky.

💸

Expensive Talent

A data engineer costs around €100k+/year, analysts €75k+/year and data scientists €110k+/year.

A basic team costs €375k+/year in total employment cost.

⏱️

Slow Time-to-Value

Recruiting takes 3-6 months, then building infrastructure takes another 6-12 months. You're often waiting a year before seeing business value.

🎯

Skills Mismatch

Most small companies only need dashboards and insights, not complex ML infrastructure. Why hire senior engineers for basic reporting?

⚠️

High Up-front Commitment

Building in-house means large early investment and ongoing risk. If priorities or budgets change, it's difficult to pivot with a data team & sunk costs.
