Runibex Insights

Ask a business question. Get an answer you can inspect.

Runibex Insights turns natural-language questions into structured insights, transparent SQL, interactive visuals and exportable outputs, grounded in governed enterprise data. It is built so business and operations teams, including non-technical people, move faster from question to answer.

Summary, trend, drivers and suggested actions

The query behind the answer, where SQL applies

The supporting result set, ready to inspect

Interactive plots, generated on demand

PDF, CSV and XLSX for your own workflow

Why it exists

Finding the needle in the data haystack shouldn't take days.

In most organisations, the distance between a business question and a usable answer is still measured in days, handoffs and manual work. Teams switch between dashboards, work around half-baked data structures, wait on the analyst backlog and reconcile exported spreadsheets.

The cost goes beyond inefficiency. Pricing, fulfilment, partner performance and commercial decisions get made on stale or incomplete information. Organisations that can’t interrogate their own data in real time are structurally slower than those that can, and the gap compounds every day.

How it works

Every step between question and answer is visible.

A user asks a business question in natural language. Runibex Insights interprets it, maps it to approved data structures, generates governed SQL where applicable, retrieves the relevant data and returns a structured response. The user can then review the SQL, inspect the result set and generate interactive charts.

The core differentiator

Self-service tools assume clean data. Runibex prepares it first.

Most self-service analytics tools assume the data is clean and query-ready. In practice, it rarely is. Runibex Insights includes a data preparation layer managed by Runibex or its partners: experienced consultants analyse your databases, perform the ETL and data modelling, and prepare a foundation tailored to your environment, schemas and operational context.

Documented, consistent tables make it easier to map a question to the right data.

Modelled data needs simpler queries, with fewer joins across raw systems.

Answers rest on a cleaner foundation instead of noisy source data.

Answer quality depends on the data foundation. If source schemas are inconsistent, poorly documented, delayed or weakly governed, quality and trust drop quickly. That is why the ETL layer is a core part of how Runibex Insights is delivered.

Works with what you run

Connects to your databases.
Works alongside your BI.

Runibex Insights works across multiple enterprise database environments, including PostgreSQL, Oracle and MySQL, subject to approved integration and governance setup. Power BI dashboards can be linked into the workflow as reporting context, while answers, supporting tables, charts and exports are generated directly in Runibex Insights.

A standalone managed product that also runs as the analytics layer inside other platforms. It is already in production across Runibex’s own portfolio.

Governance and trust

Governed and explainable.
Not autonomous.

Runibex Insights is built for controlled enterprise use rather than as a generic chatbot. Trust comes from how the system is constrained and from being able to see what it did: approved sources, visible SQL, source-aware outputs and answers grounded in real data retrieval.

The system works only with the data sources you approve, inside your identity and access boundaries.

Generated queries stay visible wherever SQL applies, so anyone can check how a result was produced.

Answers name the tables they came from, and the result set sits one tab away.

Answers come from querying your enterprise data, not from unconstrained text generation.

Built for governed business analytics and operational decision support.

It answers business questions from approved data.

It works alongside BI tools such as Power BI.

It explains and suggests. People decide.

Deployment

Cloud by default, with options for tighter constraints.

Runibex Insights is designed for cloud deployment and multi-tenant operation, and Runibex can deliver it end to end as a managed solution. Where infrastructure, security or procurement requirements call for it, it can also be delivered as an AMI-based deployment or installed on a Linux virtual machine.

Managed cloud

Default

Delivered end to end by Runibex as a managed solution. Multi-tenant, with tenant and user isolation built in.

AMI-based deployment

On request

Delivered as an Amazon Machine Image, for teams with specific infrastructure or procurement requirements.

Linux virtual machine

On request

Installed on a Linux VM where your infrastructure or security policy requires it.

Runibex Insights was built to flatten all the layers between data, analysis, and action. Business teams do not just need a summary. They need to understand why something is happening, inspect the logic behind the answer, explore the data visually, and take the output into their own workflow.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The short version: governed data in, explainable answers out, with Runibex preparing the data foundation as part of the implementation.

What is Runibex Insights?

A managed platform that helps users ask business questions in natural language and receive structured insights, transparent SQL, interactive visualisations and exportable outputs based on governed enterprise data.

How does Runibex Insights work?

A user asks a business question in natural language. Runibex Insights interprets the question, maps it to approved data structures, generates governed SQL where applicable, retrieves the relevant data and returns a structured response such as a summary, trend, drivers and suggested actions. Users can then review the SQL, inspect the result set and generate interactive charts within the product.

What outputs does the product provide?

Several output types within the same workflow:

structured insight summaries
transparent SQL queries
supporting data tables
interactive plots and visualisations
downloadable outputs such as PDF, CSV and XLSX

Can users inspect the SQL behind the answer?

Runibex Insights is designed to provide SQL transparency where applicable, so users can review the generated query and understand how the result was produced.

Can Runibex Insights connect to different databases?

It is designed to work across multiple enterprise database environments, including systems such as PostgreSQL, Oracle and MySQL, subject to approved integration and governance setup.

Does Runibex support ETL and data preparation as part of the solution?

Runibex or its partners perform the required ETL and data preparation work as part of the implementation. The product is not a plug-and-play layer on top of raw enterprise data. Runibex connects to your databases, prepares the data foundation and optimises the environment for better retrieval, faster SQL generation and more reliable outputs.

Can it work with BI tools like Power BI?

Runibex Insights can connect to BI tools such as Power BI and use them as part of the wider analytics context. Power BI dashboards can be linked within the workflow, while Runibex Insights generates its own structured answers, SQL outputs, supporting tables and interactive visualisations directly in the product.

Is Runibex Insights a standalone product?

It is a standalone managed product. It can also complement other enterprise platforms and operational environments, including NGI Commerce.

How does it support governance, security and deployment flexibility?

Runibex Insights is designed for governed enterprise use. It supports controlled data access, source transparency, traceable query generation and operation within approved infrastructure, identity and access boundaries. It is designed for cloud deployment and can also be delivered through AMI-based deployment or Linux virtual machine installation where required.

Is it already used in production?

Runibex Insights is embedded in production within Runibex’s own product portfolio, powering the analytics layer inside NGI Commerce and Centrigate.

What if our data isn't clean or well documented?

That is the usual starting point. Answer quality depends heavily on the data foundation, and inconsistent, poorly documented, delayed or weakly governed schemas quickly reduce quality and trust. That is why Runibex performs its own ETL and data preparation as part of the implementation, creating a cleaner and more reliable foundation for retrieval and SQL generation.

How do you limit wrong or made-up answers?

By limiting the system to approved data sources, making generated SQL visible where applicable, returning source-aware outputs, and grounding answers in actual enterprise data retrieval rather than unconstrained text generation. Runibex Insights is governed and explainable, not autonomous.

Is it a chatbot, or a replacement for our BI tools?

Neither. Runibex Insights focuses on governed business analytics and operational decision support. It is not a general-purpose enterprise chatbot, a full BI replacement or an autonomous decision engine, and it works alongside BI tools such as Power BI.
