What CORAIL ANALYTICS does

Corail Analytics is a French data consulting and implementation boutique founded in 2021 by Martin Lainez (CEO) and Alexandre Valentin (CPO), both Paris Dauphine alumni with prior data roles at Criteo, HelloFresh, and Jumia. The firm positions itself as a 'business-first' data agency that bridges technical data teams and business stakeholders, delivering Modern Data Stack implementations, BI modernization, and self-service analytics enablement. Its core technical stack centers on Looker (LookML), Omni Analytics, dbt for transformation, Kestra for orchestration, Airbyte for integration, and cloud warehouses including Snowflake, BigQuery/GCP, with embedded analytics via Looker APIs and a strategic partnership with MotherDuck for European deployments.

The company's service portfolio spans three engagement modalities: Audit (2-5 day on-site data assessments), In-Residence (consultant staff augmentation for medium-to-long-term needs), and Fixed-Price Project (scoped deliverables). It also operates structured training curricula across Looker, Omni, dbt, and Kestra. Customer logos span enterprise and growth-stage organizations across retail (Carrefour, Carrefour Links, Carrefour DMG), luxury (Cartier), HR tech (PayFit), marketing automation (Brevo), communications (Aircall), compensation (Qobra), environment (Gaïago), and SaaS (The Fabulous, Kolecto, Blank). Corail was named Omni's EMEA Partner of the Year in 2024 and is Omni's first agency partner in France, joining during Omni's 2022 beta.

Go-to-market is hybrid: sales-led direct outreach to enterprise and mid-market prospects complemented by community-led inbound generated through blog content, webinars with client executives, and detailed published use cases. The firm operates from offices in Saint Malo and Paris, serves primarily the French market with stated ambitions to expand across Europe, and is privately held by its founders with no disclosed institutional funding. Pricing is custom-quoted across all engagement models, reflecting a pure professional-services revenue model with no disclosed ARR or revenue figures.

Core offering

Corail Analytics provides consulting, implementation, and training services for data platforms, business intelligence, and analytics. It delivers Modern Data Stack projects covering audit, staff augmentation (In-Residence), and fixed-price project modalities, with deep specialization in semantic layer BI platforms (Looker, Omni), dbt analytics engineering, Kestra orchestration, and embedded analytics. The firm also offers structured training curricula for Looker, Omni, dbt, and Kestra across beginner, developer, and administrator levels.

Product overview

Corail Analytics is a French data consulting and implementation agency specializing in end-to-end data transformation services. Rather than a single software product, its offering is a portfolio of consulting and training services centered on the Modern Data Stack, with two primary implementation platforms: Looker (Google's BI/semantic layer platform) and Omni Analytics (an all-in-one BI platform with hybrid semantic layer and native AI). The service lineup spans data architecture and strategy, embedded analytics (using Looker APIs), product and marketing analytics, BI/dataviz, and self-service analytics enablement. Training is offered as structured curricula for Looker, Omni, dbt, and Kestra. The company positions itself as a 'business-first' consultancy that selects the right tools for each client's context, working across the full market including Looker Studio, Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, and Metabase as alternatives alongside its primary platforms.
