- in other words, operational issues.

Operational is built from the ground up to receive events for your product.

Tracking tools can be notoriously hard to integrate.

To make this easier, we have a Playground where you can copy-paste code and simply sprinkle it in your codebase.

Hey friend,

In the early days of running my SaaS(Swipekit), I had no clue what was happening inside my product.

  • Did that cronjob run?
  • Who's signing up? Need to know their details
  • Need to get server vars for debugging
  • Need to understand billing workflows

I tried a bunch of tools for a few months. They were unfortunately very basic and none of them were purpose built for tech founders.

So I built Operational.


Today, Operational helps me manage my SaaS and saves me hours that would be spent on pointless rot work otherwise.

If you want to streamline your work just as I did, Operational is waiting for you.

Shash Founder, Operational

You might have questions

How is this different than Posthog, Mixpanel, etc?

Posthog, Mixpanel etc are in the product analytics space.
They are designed to ingest up as many events as possible inside your product, eg user clicks, ab testing, backend events, etc.

After ingesting up events, they can tell you how many signups you had in the last month, what feature did your users use, etc.

Operational is built to track key events such as user signups, cancellations, etc. It can send you push notifications for these events and you can run triggers from these events.

This makes Operational great for understanding what specific paths a user took inside your product, setting up a audit logging system, triggering workflows manually, and solving other operational issues.

In other words, Operational runs complimentary to product analytics tools.

You don't have a SDK for my language/framework.

We thought of that too!

Since Operational is a brand new product, SDKs are limited, but we’ve got wrappers for most popular languages.
