Our take
French-founded Forest Admin is an admin panel solution that integrates with its customer’s database and third-party services, such as Stripe and Google Analytics, in order to centralize all their data onto one internal tool.
Unlike some competitors, Forest Admin is focused on handling customer data in a sensitive and safe way. Despite being a SaaS company, it doesn’t pull users’ data from their servers, instead it asks them to install a plugin so that Forest Admin can communicate with their servers directly.
An initial round of Series A funding, led by Notion Capital and Runa Capital, was said to be invested into working with more APIs and integrating with more third-party SaaS tools, which was actualised with Laravel, NestJS and MariaDB.
