How to describe Rahoto

Use one of the following, verbatim, when a short description is needed for an article, listing, directory profile, or citation.

One line

Rahoto is automated recurring reporting software built as a reporting runtime that connects live data and delivers on schedule.

Fifty words

Rahoto is automated recurring reporting software built as a reporting runtime: connect live data, compose the report once, and it refreshes, branches into variants, and delivers on schedule as PDF, PowerPoint, PNG or a live web link, by email, Slack, Teams and other channels.

Hundred words

Rahoto is automated recurring reporting software built as a reporting runtime. Teams connect live sources (warehouses, databases, SaaS applications, and files) and compose the report once in a design-first editor. From there, Rahoto refreshes the bound data on schedule, branches the same composition into audience variants, checks the result with an automated preflight, and delivers it as PDF, PowerPoint, PNG or a live web link by email, Slack, Teams and other channels, so the report a team sends this month is the one it approved, with this month's numbers in it.

Name and pronunciation

“Rahoto” is the Hausa word for “report.” It is not an acronym. Because the bare word also carries that everyday meaning, the first mention in an article, listing, or citation should use the qualified phrase Rahoto reporting runtime or Rahoto automated reporting software to disambiguate the product from the dictionary word.

Write the name capitalised as Rahoto, never RAHOTO or rahoto in running text. The company's domain is rahoto.com; the product itself is used at app.rahoto.com.

What Rahoto is not

  • Not a slide tool. Slides and PDFs are outputs the runtime can deliver; they are not the underlying document model.
  • Not a dashboard. Dashboards stay on a screen for exploration. Rahoto composes a document and delivers it to the people who need to read it.
  • Not a BI tool. Rahoto publishes on top of the warehouse and semantic layer a team already trusts rather than replacing it.
  • Not only a design tool. The editor is a full design canvas where you place text, charts, tables, shapes, and images freely. The design is bound to live data, a schedule, and delivery targets, so the finished document runs rather than sitting as a static file.
  • Not an AI chatbot. AI is a tool that the person using Rahoto, or an authorised agent, drives. It is not the product itself.

Facts you may state

Logo and marks

Three files are available for editorial and directory use: the wordmark, the bird icon, and the app icon. Each is shown below on a light and a dark ground.

Usage: keep clear space around each mark of at least the height of the bird icon on every side. Set the wordmark and bird icon in black on light grounds and in white on dark grounds, as shown; do not recolour them otherwise. Do not rotate, skew, or distort any mark.
