  Tugger makes your life easier by removing the headache of getting your data together, ready for reporting in your Business Intelligence tool. Maybe you’ve found Tugger because you’ve had a go at this yourself? If so, you’ve probably discovered that the reporting is super-simple. Getting your data into these systems however, is not. Getting the data out of your data sources, (the systems that generate the data e.g. GitHub, Harvest and JIRA) is where the pain kicks in. And to be honest, where the pain ends - once you’ve solved this, you’re flying. Tugger removes this problem, making the process of seeing your data in beautiful reports a piece of cake.
