​
Why Parable Exists

Churches today struggle with fragmented data across multiple platforms. Your member information lives in Planning Center, giving data sits in another system, and attendance tracking happens somewhere else entirely. This creates a frustrating cycle of manual report generation and missed ministry opportunities. Parable solves this by creating a unified view of your church data, accessible through SQL and compatible with your favorite BI tools.
