Creating advanced data applications and visualizations that users love


Rich, Scalable Geo-Exploration
Location data only becomes valuable when it’s easy to explore and when performance holds up as scale grows. ChartFactor’s geo capabilities are designed around that reality; providing users with responsive maps, smooth interaction, and infrastructure that doesn’t get in the way. ChartFactor’s Geo Map GL module supports rich spatial visualisation, including markers, shapes, proportional symbols, heatmaps, and zoom-based precision through geohash clustering. As users move throug

Frictionless Analytics
When analytics tools slow teams down, it’s rarely just because they lack features. More often, it’s friction in everyday workflows - setup confusion, awkward interactions, or small usability gaps that compound over time. ChartFactor Studio is built to reduce that friction by keeping analytics creation close to the browser, close to the product, and close to how teams actually work. Recent updates reflect that philosophy clearly and they’ve been driven directly by how users in

Designing Analytics for the Long Game
“ The future depends on what we do in the present .” - Mahatma Gandhi In software, especially when it comes to data products, the decisions you make today determine how fast you can move tomorrow.

Its browser-native execution, modular charting components, and code-transparent design let te

Interactive Intelligence On Demand
When teams build data products, the analytics layer can often become a bottleneck - too many moving parts, too much overhead, and too much friction between design, engineering, and infrastructure. ChartFactor Studio reverses that dynamic. It gives teams a browser-based environment for building interactive dashboards and analytics components without adding weight to the backend. Developers maintain full visibility and control over how charts, filters, and interactions work, wi

Visual Analytics You Control
For data-centric SaaS startups or product teams, visual analytics has become an essential requirement. But embedding dashboards, managing BI servers, and buying expensive analytics platforms can drain your finances and slow your pace. ChartFactor offers a smarter path. You get a modular, embeddable analytics layer with interactive features-filters, drill-downs, geo-visuals-built to scale from the first user to thousands, and from gigabytes of data to petabytes. Early-stage

With ChartFactor’s Geo tools, your SaaS product can offer layered, interactive maps that go far beyond simple point markers. The Geo Map GL module supports markers, shapes, proportional circles, heat-maps, zoom-based precision (via geohash clustering), visibility toggles, and custom overlays-embedded fully client-side for speed and scalability. Need to offer dri

Explore and Grow
Spatial data is powerful - but only when your maps are as flexible as your product demands. ChartFactor’s Geo Map elevates mapping beyond simple pins. You can layer markers, shapes, proportional circles, and heat maps; toggle visibility and opacity; and switch between shapes and clusters based on zoom levels. All in-browser, highly-responsive, without the need for heavy map servers or backend pipelines. As users zoom, geohash clustering can adjust precision automatically; cu
