Astrato and Propelling Tech have announced a strategic partnership to help organizations unlock real-time, self-service analytics on live cloud data. By combining Propelling Tech’s deep expertise in AI and data architecture with Astrato’s intuitive BI platform, the partnership helps reduce complexity, speed up deployment, and future-proof data strategies across industries.

Propelling Tech works with clients to simplify data complexity and modernize their analytics stack. Astrato’s live-query architecture and no-code experience align perfectly with this goal – helping clients move from insight to action with fewer bottlenecks and more confidence.

"Our clients are looking for simple, high-impact solutions that deliver value fast," said Alejandro Martinez, CEO of Propelling Tech. "Astrato’s cloud-native BI platform fits perfectly into that vision – its live-query engine and no-code builder allow teams to unlock governed self-service, featuring native AI capabilities, without adding complexity."

Astrato is a next-gen BI platform that works natively with the modern cloud stack – Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and more. It combines ease of use with power under the hood:

  • Build no-code, governed analytics apps and dashboards
  • Expand BI use cases with native AI, writeback and workflows
  • Embed analytics directly into customer-facing portals and internal platforms
  • Scale cost-efficiently with usage-based pricing

"Modern businesses are asking for simplicity – software that is intuitive to use, but powerful under the hood. Astrato delivers exactly that: a sleek, no-code interface backed by a high-performance engine that queries live data directly from the cloud. Together with Propelling Tech, we’re making advanced analytics more accessible, more actionable, and more aligned with how people actually work," said Martin Mahler, CEO & Founder of Astrato Analytics. 

For organizations deeply invested in Qlik and Vizlib, this partnership is especially relevant. Alejandro Martinez, a former Qlik luminary and ex-CEO of leading Qlik consultancy SDG Group, brings unmatched insight into Qlik-native analytics. Astrato, built by the team behind Vizlib – the most widely adopted value-added solution for Qlik Sense – extends that familiar power to the cloud, delivering a seamless upgrade path for companies seeking modern cloud performance with the rich interactivity, governance, and flexibility they've come to love.

This collaboration strengthens Propelling Tech’s ability to meet growing demand for modular, AI-enabled analytics platforms across industries like healthcare, financial services, retail, and SaaS.

Astrato and Propelling Tech share a commitment to accelerating business outcomes with modern data experiences. Together, they are enabling organizations to deploy scalable BI solutions – from embedded analytics and revenue-generating data products to governed headless BI frameworks.

"At Propelling Tech, we're driven by real-world outcomes," said Alejandro Martinez, CEO of Propelling Tech. "Astrato brings simplicity and flexibility to our clients’ analytics workflows. Whether it's embedded insights, monetizable data products, or headless BI, we're helping teams design solutions that are not just powerful, but also built for what’s next.”

Before, we had a separate analytics page, and nobody used it. Now, every customer at least checks the analytics, and for some, it’s the main thing they care about

Astrato acts as the shop window for everything happening in Snowflake, while all computation and governance remain in code within our data warehouse. That means anyone can access insights without relying on complex BI tools.
