About Parabola
Parabola is a no-code workflow tool for operations teams that lets you pull data from different sources, clean and transform it in a visual flow, and send results to the tools you use. It is aimed at repetitive spreadsheet-style work such as reconciliations and reporting.
Its newer product, Prowork, is described as turning a team's data, context and know-how into processes that run on their own while showing their work step by step. The demo on the site walks through an inventory reconciliation that pulls data from NetSuite, a supplier email and SharePoint, standardizes SKU formats and cross-references them. Parabola also lists integrations, demo videos and a community of operators.
Parabola is a hosted commercial service with a free start, a pricing page and demos. It has no self-hosted version and suits finance, supply chain and operations teams without dedicated engineers.
