Our Story

About Rapid BI Catalog

Built by data engineers who lived the pain. We're on a mission to eliminate the chaos of ungoverned BI environments — one Tableau server at a time.

We believe governance shouldn't mean slower delivery

Rapid BI Catalog is a product of Factual Soft Company LLC, a software company focused on solving the hardest metadata management challenges in business intelligence.

Our founding team has spent over 25 years leading data engineering at scale — across financial services, healthcare, and technology — and experienced first-hand the pain of managing hundreds of Tableau dashboards without proper impact analysis, lineage, or documentation.

We built Rapid BI Catalog because every existing solution was either too expensive, too complex, or too slow. Organizations deserve a tool that deploys in days, delivers instant value, and pays for itself within the first month.

Our Core Values

Every decision we make — from product design to customer support — is guided by these principles.

Speed to Value

We obsess over time-to-value. Deploy in days, not months. Get answers in seconds, not weeks. Every feature is built to save your team hours from day one.

🛡️

Security First

Your metadata is sensitive. We process only what's needed and follow industry-leading security practices — including encryption at rest and in transit.

🎯

Purpose-Built

We don't try to be everything. Rapid BI Catalog is laser-focused on Tableau impact analysis, lineage, and documentation — and we aim to be the best in the world at it.

🤝

Customer Partnership

We build alongside our customers, not in isolation. Every feature request is heard, every pain point is acknowledged, and our roadmap reflects real-world needs.

📊

Data-Driven

We practice what we preach. Our product decisions are driven by data, our ROI claims are backed by real math, and our documentation is always current.

🚀

Continuous Innovation

BI governance is evolving. We stay ahead with intelligent classification, automated lineage, and AI-powered insights — shipping new capabilities every quarter.

From Frustration to Innovation

Our journey started with a simple realization: BI teams were spending more time documenting and investigating dashboards than actually building them. We knew there had to be a better way.

What began as RapidDox — a desktop documentation tool for individual Tableau and Power BI workbooks — evolved into Rapid BI Catalog, a comprehensive server-level platform delivering impact analysis, visual lineage, and automated documentation at enterprise scale.
