Driving Our Economy Forward: Datably

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — Running a business isn’t easy.

But one Chattanooga software company’s job is to make it a little easier, and help businesses grow.

Let’s see how Datably is driving our economy forward.

“Datably is a custom software development company right here in the heart of Chattanooga,” said Taylor Hall, president/CEO. “We’re located on the North Shore in the business development center. We focus primarily on building integrations with existing software, and helping our clients automate their business processes. So Datably really came about from the concatenation of data and ability, or data and agility. And what our goal is, is to build data driven apps. But really it is all about what can you do with data, how do you make data-driven decisions, how do you forecast really well for your business. We have so many people and customers that come to us. Like we do all of our accounting with 20 different spreadsheets and we have to do all this process every single month. And we take that whole process which takes hours, we bring it down to a single button click and they love it. It’s now codified, it’s reliable, it’s accurate. And you can take this native knowledge out of you know, your employees that you have put it into a system. And now your next hire can just easily follow the system. And it works well for them.”

Hall says Datably wants to build the local community, and bring technical talent to Chattanooga.

“All of our developers work in our office, and are all local Chattanooga residents,” Hall said. “That’s one of the ways that we are really looking at bringing outside business in. And they’re hiring us to help them. They may be in Florida or Texas or wherever, we’re taking that and funneling it to developers that are right here in our community. Happy employees and strong employees build strong families. And strong families build strong communities. And so that is kind of how we give back, is really by focusing on how do we make Chattanooga a tech hub. How do we make Chattanooga a place where you can really have a good standard of living, and have a company that you can work for.”
