What is Wusool?
Wusool is a master data management and data governance platform. You create, maintain, and share governed lists of business data, such as regions, cost centres, and product lines, so every report, model, and dashboard draws from one trusted source.
The problem
Most organisations manage master data in spreadsheets. Finance keeps one list of cost centres, BI keeps another, and operations keeps a third. When someone adds a new region or renames a product line, the change spreads through email threads and copy-paste. Reports break. Numbers stop matching. Nobody knows which version is correct.
Wusool replaces that workflow with a single governed source for every master data list your organisation relies on. Changes happen in one place and apply everywhere.
Three core objects
Almost everything in Wusool is built from three objects. Get comfortable with these and the rest of the platform falls into place.
Dimensions
A Dimension is a governed list of values. Think of it as a single column of master data: Region, Department, Cost Centre, Product Line. You create a Dimension, add its allowed values, and control who can view or edit them through roles. When someone builds a report or enters data, they pick from the Dimension’s values. They cannot invent new ones without permission.
Combined Dimensions
A Combined Dimension joins two or more source Dimensions and produces their cross-product, every possible pairing of values. For example, crossing Region with Product Line produces every valid Region–Product pair. You then remove invalid pairs (a product that doesn’t ship to a particular region) so downstream consumers only ever see approved pairings.
Workbooks
A Workbook is a governed data-entry table. You define its columns using Dimensions, then users fill in rows by selecting from those Dimension values. Unlike a spreadsheet, every cell in a Dimension column is constrained to the allowed values. An FP&A analyst entering quarterly budget figures picks “APAC” from the Region Dimension rather than typing “Asia Pacific”, “APAC”, or “Asia-Pac” and hoping for the best.
Who uses Wusool
| Role | How they use Wusool |
|---|---|
| BI Analyst | Connects reports and dashboards to governed Dimensions so filters and groupings stay consistent across the organisation. |
| Data Engineer | Uses Dimensions as reference data in pipelines, eliminating manual mapping tables and reconciliation scripts. |
| FP&A / Finance | Enters budgets and forecasts through Workbooks constrained by approved Dimensions, reducing submission errors. |
| FP&A / Planning | Builds budgets, forecasts, and actuals as Scenarios and tracks them against Targets (Planning plan). |
| Workspace Admin | Creates the workspace, manages users and roles, and maintains the organisation's Dimensions over time. |
