# Introduction

Introduction: Elevate your business operations intelligence with Autonmis. Enjoy flexible integrations, operational dashboards, and AI-driven insights for smarter, faster decision-making.

Autonmis is designed to be your business intelligence companion - providing you with an on-the-fly, collaborative view of what your business is really doing, rather than how it is being displayed on dashboards.

Autonmis overlays your existing systems rather than adding additional tools or replacing them. It brings together dispersed signals, brings into focus what requires focus and converts complicated operational information into explicit and responsible actions.

The operations intelligence platform is built to support teams that desire fewer blind spots and increased speed of execution - whether scaling as a mid-sized lender, juggling complex operations in an enterprise on the growth stage or leading teams that require real-time business ops visibility without engineering heft.

#### Key Capabilities You’ll Rely On

**Flexible Integrations** - Integrates with CRMs, ERP, 3rd Party APIs, data warehouses, communication tools (Slack, Teams, Email) and additional business systems with seamless integrations-- no disruption to your current stack.

**Operational Dashboards** - Real time monitoring of process health, team workloads, risk factors and throughput - thus leaders and teams are on a common live picture.

**Automated Reports -** Automatically create and distribute MIS or performance packs to leadership, regulators or internal teams - hours spent manually preparing the information are reduced to minutes.

**Alerts & Queues -** Flagging bottlenecks, SLA violations or risks before they go snowballing with a clear ownership and accountability history of how to correct.

**AI Copilot -** Most of AI Copilot is about asking questions in plain English, instantly surface anomalies, and provide next step suggestions - a paradigm shift in firefighting toward proactive decision-making.<br>

# About Us

About Us:  Autonmis empowers mid-market businesses with AI-native intelligence, turning chaos into clarity. Experience faster decision-making and streamlined operations.

Expanding businesses operate on processes - across boarding new clients, releasing money, risk management, or taking in repayments. Yet these processes are usually sloppy:

* Small groups are stretched to a breaking point, and are on fire all the time.
* Systems which fail to communicate with one another leaving key blind spots.
* MIS which requires days to prepare and is old by the time it is distributed.
* Reactive decisions are made once the snowballs of problems have become large.

We have experienced these difficulties ourselves. and that is why we build Autonmis.

### What We Do

Autonmis is an AI native Data and Business Operations Intelligence Platform.

We intend to make teams have a clear and live picture of their operations and be able to make fast and confident decisions.

We do not replace your existing systems - we sit above of them. Autonmis connects with your existing systems - LOS, LMS, CRM, payments and collections and transforms dispersed data into:

* Dashboards that are live and can be trusted by everyone.
* Alerts over risks are automated in advance.
* Reporting that is audited ready to the leadership and regulators.
* AI-driven recommendations that assist teams in concentrating on what is the most important.

Simply put, we assist businesses to shift towards running on hunches to running on live intelligence.<br>

### Who We Serve

Autonmis is targeted at the mid-market businesses and growth businesses that require the flexibility of an enterprise operations solution, but lack the heavy lifting and expensive nature.

**In high-growth teams:** We provide structure and visibility that enables you to grow without falling into anarchy.

**In the case of leaders:** We present one source of truth to make decisions quicker, crisper, and evidence-based.

### The reason why Autonmis is the Right Choice

**Accelerated Decision-Making**

That’s why our platform is built to help businesses scale smoothly - with fewer blind spots, faster resolutions, and a lot less firefighting.

# Using SQL Editor

Follow these steps to create a dashboard using a SQL Editor:

1. Go to the **'SQL Editor'** tab.
2. Create a chart, write and run a SQL query to retrieve data. The query results will be displayed under the **'Data'** tab in the 'Visualize' section.
3. Click the **'Metrics'** tab to enter **Distributed metric mode** and drag dimensions and measures into the X-axis and Y-axis fields to create a chart. You can also select the chart type (Line, Area, Bar, Pie), and add a **chart name** and **description**.

<figure><img src="/files/aZ3I6QuPBCXi0MEfRrlX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. For Aggregated metrics, choose a metric from the dropdown, select a function (SUM, AVG, COUNT, MAX), and provide a chart name.

<figure><img src="/files/4FGxs32fcdStqeJ6jtCQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

5. To publish the chart within a dashboard, click on the **'Publish Chart'** button. This will display a list of existing dashboards. If you want to create a new dashboard, click on the **'Add Dashboard'** button. A popup will prompt you to provide the **dashboard name and description**.

<figure><img src="/files/ZLmlbuAg061LCeYwdv4i" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
