What dhino FETCH gives you

Templates defined by your organization, carrying your logic. Created once by experts, used safely by everyone.

Segment Anything

No artificial limits. Segment on any table, any entity. Combine, subtract, and intersect datasets in multi-step operations.

Consistent Results

The right fields are predefined in templates. Same question, same answer, every time. No conflicting numbers.

Governed Self-Service

Role-based access control, field-level permissions, controlled execution. Safe self-service without raw database exposure.

Visual Reports

Not just lists. Visual reports with charts, trends, and dashboards. Ready for email delivery or API consumption.

Usage scenarios

Multi-step campaign segmentation

Marketing needs a target audience: all contacts matching criteria X, minus everyone contacted this quarter, plus newsletter subscribers, intersected with a regional filter. A multi-step segment that would take hours in Excel.

No manual Excel combining. No waiting for IT. Each step builds on the previous one, governed and repeatable.

Result: Complex campaigns ready in minutes, not days.

Visual pipeline reporting

Teams need visual reports from live data: KPI tiles, bar charts, trend lines. Assembled and delivered automatically, no separate BI tool required.

  • • Templates define the visual output format
  • • Reports delivered via email, Slack, Teams, or PDF
  • • Can be surfaced through AI agents on demand

Result: Visual reports that deliver themselves, always fresh.

Cross-system financial reporting

Finance reconciles data from ERP, CRM, and billing. Each system has different schemas. Someone spends half a day stitching it together every month.

  • • Multiple sources, unified through one template
  • • Consistent definitions across systems
  • • One report, one truth

Result: Month-end close without the spreadsheet chaos.

API-based external use

Segments and data aren't just for internal reports. Fetch outputs can power external systems too.

  • • Segments exposed via API
  • • Embedded in websites
  • • Served to AI agents
  • • Powers dynamic event agendas and landing pages

Result: Fetch defines the segment. Other systems consume it.

How dhino FETCH works

Experts build templates once, capturing the correct logic and access rules. Business users run them with simple parameters, get reliable results in any format, and take action directly from the output.

How dhino FETCH works: Stage 0 shows the problem of scattered data, Stage 1 shows an expert building a template, Stage 2 shows anyone running it, Stage 3 shows clean results as visual reports, data lists, or JSON/API

Segmentation actions

Export CSV, tag records, push to marketing tools, save counts for tracking.

Reporting actions

Email reports, post to Slack or Teams, embed in dashboards, export as PDF.

Why standard tools aren't enough

  • ✕ Dynamics 365 only segments on Account, Contact, Lead. Nothing else.
  • ✕ Power Apps has no real segmentation, just temporary views
  • ✕ Excel workarounds everywhere. Manual, error-prone, inconsistent.
  • ✕ Logic lives in people's heads, lost when they leave
  • ✕ IT becomes a bottleneck for routine data requests
Standard Tools dhino FETCH
Segment only on Account, Contact, Lead Segment on any table, any entity

Logic lives in someone's head Logic defined in templates
Every request goes through IT Self-service for business users

Frequently asked questions about dhino Fetch

How is dhino Fetch different from Dynamics 365 segmentation?
Dynamics 365 only segments on Account, Contact, and Lead. Nothing else. dhino Fetch segments on any table, any entity in your data. It supports multi-step operations: combine, subtract, and intersect datasets in a single workflow. Standard tools produce flat lists. Fetch produces lists and visual reports with charts and trends.
Can Fetch segment on any table or just Account, Contact, and Lead?
Any table, any entity. There are no artificial limits. Fetch supports multi-step segmentation: combine datasets, subtract exclusions, intersect with filters. All in one workflow, governed by templates.
What are dhino templates and how do they work in Fetch?
Templates are pre-defined data operations created by IT or domain experts. They specify which tables, fields, relationships, and business rules apply. Business users select a template, set parameters, and get results. No SQL. No schema knowledge. The template carries the logic, so every user gets the same correct answer.
Does dhino Fetch replace Excel for data reporting?
Fetch eliminates the need for manual Excel workarounds. Instead of exporting data, combining spreadsheets, and rebuilding reports manually, Fetch captures that logic in a template once. Business users run the template and get the result directly. No more inconsistent numbers. No more manual stitching across systems.
How does Fetch handle data governance and access control?
Fetch separates what users want from how it is retrieved. Role-based access control and field-level permissions govern every request. Users interact through templates, never through raw database access. This means safe self-service without accidental data leaks or uncontrolled exports.
Can Fetch generate visual reports or just flat lists?
Both. Fetch produces flat lists when you need them and visual reports with charts, trend comparisons, and KPI tiles when you need those. Reports are rendered as lightweight HTML, ready for email delivery, Slack, Teams, PDF export, or API consumption. AI agents can also request Fetch reports on demand.
How does Fetch work with AI agents?
AI agents can request Fetch results through templates. Instead of teaching an agent how to build a report, the report logic lives in a Fetch template. The agent calls the template and gets governed, deterministic data. This is part of the broader dhino platform where Fetch, Trust, Integrate, and Publish share the same data layer.
Is dhino Fetch a BI tool or reporting dashboard?
No. BI tools show you data. dhino Fetch captures how your organization thinks about its data and makes that thinking available to everyone, safely and consistently. The report or list is one possible output. The real value is that templates capture institutional knowledge: which fields, which logic, which relationships. Built once by experts, used safely by everyone.
