We engrave what your data says.

Glyphein builds analytical instruments for Power BI. Our first one draws the flows inside a network — where they run, how far they sit from plan, and what depends on what.

Flow Globe — in development, coming to Microsoft AppSource

Glyphein Flow Globe

An origin-destination map for Power BI, on a 3D globe or a flat map. You give it three columns — where from, where to, how much — and it draws the network.

• Place names, not coordinates. 32,000 cities, ports and countries are geocoded inside the visual. You drop the names your data already contains; there is no latitude column to build and no aggregation trap to work around.
• No network calls. No map tiles, no geocoding service, no telemetry, no fonts fetched from a CDN. The visual declares no privileges and reaches nothing outside the report. It works in tenants that block external services, and it keeps working offline.
• Automatic aggregation. Zoomed out, the map shows continent to continent. Zoom in and it resolves to countries, then to cities — so two thousand routes read as a network rather than a tangle.
• Variance to objective. Add a target column and the map stops showing volume and starts showing drift: which corridors run under plan, by how much, and in which direction. Never colour alone — every state carries a second channel.

The name

Glyphein — γλύφειν, “to engrave, to carve”; said gli-fine. Where γράφειν lays ink on a surface, γλύφειν takes material away. The sea charts and portolans of the 16th to 19th centuries were all cut with a burin on copper — a direct lineage, and we make maps. In the lineage of Bertin, a glyph is the graphic mark that encodes a value: the name describes what the product makes.
