Pike13 Year in Review: 2019

2019 was another exciting year for Pike13. We made some big improvements to our software through the hard work of our development team and through establishing new partnerships. We travelled to meet with our customers. We added new faces to the team and upgraded our office space. And of course, we had a lot of fun. 

Like so many people do this time of year, we’ve been reflecting on all that’s happened in the past twelve months. Here are some of our highlights.

New Product Features

Through a lot of hard work from our developers and some new integration partners, Pike13 software is now more powerful than ever. This is a sample of we added to our product this year:

Premium Reporting powered by Looker

Pike13 has integrated with Looker to give Pike13 customers access to one of the most premier business intelligence softwares on the market. There are a variety of customizable data visualization options available, as well as a large library of pre-built dashboards and looks displaying requested business analytics. Learn More >>

Taking Pike13 on the Road

Pike13 may be based in Seattle, but our customers and partners are located all over. We were happy to be able to travel a bit this year to meet some of you!

Spending time with our customers is always fun for us, and we look forward to meeting even more of you next year!

A New Look for PikeHQ

PikeHQ got a makeover this year. We knocked out a couple walls, built a new conference space, and updated some of the flooring and ceilings. It’s been a bit dusty, but we’re thrilled with the new look. It’s still not quite finished but here’s a sneak peak at the transformation.  

We posted a few updates Pike13’s Instagram account. I’m happy to report that every plant survived the construction. 

New Faces in the Office

We welcomed several new team members this year to the development, customer success and sales teams. We also have some new animals in the office, Muji and Snow White.

Another Year of Shenanigans 

We’re always coming up with new ways to have fun together. This year we had potato sack races in the park, barbecued in the parking lot, hosted our own Academy Awards gala complete with a red carpet, tried our hands at axe throwing, dressed up for spirit week, and just genuinely enjoyed each other’s company. And that’s only a glimpse into our 2019 shenanigans.

Happy New Year, everyone! See you in the next decade.
