Build dashboards for executives

Build dashboards for executives with Hermes: a practical, on-prem approach built for Azerbaijani teams.

Build Executive Dashboards Without Writing SQL

Executives require immediate, data-driven answers to make critical business decisions, yet the process of translating business questions into technical database queries often creates a bottleneck. Traditionally, this requires extensive technical skill or constant back-and-forth communication with data teams, leading to delays and potential misinterpretations of key metrics. Hermes eliminates this friction by enabling any user to ask plain-language questions and receive live, accurate dashboards built directly on their own databases. Designed for security and flexibility, Hermes is fully self-hosted on your own infrastructure, ensuring that sensitive business intelligence never leaves your control. By supporting a trilingual interface in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English, it empowers teams across your entire organization to interact with their data in the language they use most. This transformation turns your database from a technical silo into an accessible asset for leadership, providing real-time visibility without the need for manual reporting.

Core Capabilities for Executive Reporting

Plain-Language to SQL

Hermes translates natural-language questions directly into SQL queries, removing the need for executives or analysts to write code when building or updating dashboards.

Live Dashboards on Your Databases

Dashboards are built on top of your existing databases and reflect real-time data, so the numbers executives see are always up to date without manual exports or refreshes.

Trilingual Interface

Hermes supports Azerbaijani, Russian, and English, allowing teams across your organisation to interact with data in the language they are most comfortable with.

Read-Only by Design

Hermes operates through a least-privilege role that can only SELECT data. It cannot insert, update, or delete records, protecting the integrity of your production databases.

Full SQL Transparency

For every question answered, Hermes displays the exact SQL query it executed. Analysts and auditors can verify the logic behind any figure shown to leadership.

Self-Hosted on Docker

Hermes drops onto any Docker host, giving your IT team complete control over deployment, data residency, and security without relying on external cloud services.

From Question to Dashboard in Four Steps

1Deploy Hermes on your own Docker host and connect it to your existing databases using a read-only SELECT role.
2An executive or analyst types a business question in Azerbaijani, Russian, or English — no SQL knowledge required.
3Hermes translates the question into a precise SQL query and runs it against your live database.
4The result is displayed as a visual dashboard element, with the underlying SQL shown for full transparency.
5Dashboards update automatically as your data changes, keeping leadership informed without manual intervention.
