Our take

Geckoboard was founded to bring consolidated data in one place to the teams and individuals who need it. They have taken this concept and adapted it into a platform that would suitable in most organisations.

Geckoboard started in 2010 and have been riding the shift towards businesses collecting and using data to drive decisions ever since.

Whilst the metric dashboard and data collection industry is extremely competitive, Geckoboard have partnered with some of the biggest and most exciting companies in the UK such as Airbnb, HelloFresh and Ticketmaster with great success, to really get a foothold in this space.

Geckoboard is likely to continue their success to date as they offer a unique platform with excellent customer service for all of their clients.

Plus, enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption policies are there to support you when your life changes.
