A quick presentation that explains Import.io. The presentation outlines the problem that Import.io solves using screenshots of the product and three real life use cases from different industries: health, retail and recruitment.

2. there is a lot of data on the web

3. but it is trapped inside web pages

4. and getting it is difficult

5. you can use an API

6. if there is one available

7. you can write custom computer code :-(

8. but that is painful
:-(

9. both require a friendly developer

10. and a lot of time

11. for every single website
4 hours 4 days

12. imagine if...

13. you could turn any website

14. into a spreadsheet

15. or an API

16. in less than 4 minutes

17. without writing any code

18. without writing any code

19. so how does it work?

20. this is our web browser, for data

21. extract data by point-and-click

22. extract data by point-and-click

23. extract data by point-and-click

24. extract data by point-and-click

25. extract data by point-and-click

26. extract data by point-and-click

27. extract data by point-and-click

28. record actions on a website

29. record actions on a website

30. record actions on a website

31. there is a crawler to get all data

32. search multiple sources in real time

33. create a dashboard for data display

34. and everything is available over API

35. powerful stuff

36. let’s talk about use cases

38. wanted an iPhone app

39. with hospital data from the NHS

40. there is a website but no API

41. so they built an API

42. and now in their iPhone app...

43. ...they have hospital data

44. ...they have hospital data

46. sell laptops

47. via channel partners

48. the channel partners are meant to observe
MRP = Minimum Retail Price

49. which means no further discounting allowed

50. but sometimes channel partners
are a bit naughty

51. this is a problem

52. so HP built APIs to partner websites

53. and can now monitor live price data

54. Global Recruitment
Corporation

55. when job appears on a careers page

56. they want it in Salesforce

57. so this guy can do his job

58. they tried writing custom code

59. for 4,000 web sites

61. every website is different

62. how long would that take?

63. 4 hours 4 days
remember?

64. 8 years 61 years
for 4,000 websites
let’s call it 30 man years

65. with import•io...

66. 0
