Forest Admin raises $7 million to help you build admin panels

French startup Forest Admin has raised a $7 million Series A round from Notion Capital and Runa Capital. The company lets you build back end admin panel so that your team can track and manipulate data from a single interface.

Forest Admin integrates with your database and third-party services you might already use, such as Stripe, Intercom, Zendesk, Google Analytics, Mailchimp, etc. This way, you can centralize all your data.

After that, Forest Admin lets you build dashboards with your most important metrics. You can explore your data and create segments. And finally, you can create workflows for a user or a segment, such as generating an invoice, issuing a refund, exporting data to a CSV file and more.

Given that Forest Admin handles sensitive customer data, you want to make sure that your data is safe. While Forest Admin is a software-as-a-service startup, it doesn’t pull your data from your servers. The company asks you to install a plugin on your server so that Forest Admin can communicate with your servers directly.

You can create an IP whitelist and put the Forest plugin behind a VPN if you want to make sure that it doesn’t create any vulnerability. Similarly, Forest Admin lets you manage user permissions to make sure that employees can only view what they need to view.

So far, Forest Admin has managed to attract 2,000 customers. The startup now has 20 employees. The company works with customers across different verticals, such as fintech, mobility and online retail.

With today’s funding round, Forest Admin wants to work with more APIs, such as GraphQL, integrate with more third-party SaaS tools and optimize admin panels for mobile use.

Drone crash near kids leads Swiss Post and Matternet to suspend autonomous deliveries

A serious crash by a delivery drone in Switzerland have grounded the fleet and put a partnership on ice. Within a stone’s throw of a school, the incident raised grim possibilities for the possibilities of catastrophic failure of payload-bearing autonomous aerial vehicles. The drones were operated by Matternet as part of a partnership with the Swiss Post (i.e. the postal service), which was using the craft to dispatch lab samples from one medical center for priority cases. As far as potential applications of drone delivery, it’s a home run — but twice now the craft have crashed, first with a soft landing and the second time a very hard one. The first incident, in January, was the result of a GPS hardware error; the drone entered a planned failback state and deployed its emergency parachute, falling slowly to the ground. Measures were taken to improve the GPS systems. The second failure in May, however, led to the drone attempting to deploy its parachute again, only to sever the line...

How the world’s largest cannabis dispensary avoids social media restrictions

Planet 13 is the world’s largest cannabis dispensary. Located in Las Vegas, blocks off the Strip, the facility is the size of a small Walmart. By design, it’s hard to miss. Planet 13 is upending the dispensary model. It’s big, loud and visitors are encouraged to photograph everything.
