Case Study: Polymath Robotics accelerates debugging and wins more deals with Foxglove

How Polymath gained a competitive advantage using Foxglove

Polymath Robotics, a company specializing in off-road autonomy for industrial vehicles, faced significant challenges in debugging and data analysis. Without Foxglove, their team relied on tools like RViz that lacked replay, forcing them to debug in real time and manually compile screenshots and logs. This inefficient process slowed development and made it difficult to communicate their technology's performance clearly to customers, threatening their competitive edge.

By adopting Foxglove's visualization platform, Polymath gained the ability to replay data and create detailed visualizations for debugging and reporting. Foxglove enabled them to generate clear, data-rich reports and animated GIFs for clients, which proved decisive in winning contracts. The solution saved 30% in development time, reduced debugging from days to minutes, and provided a 100x increase in customer reporting clarity, directly contributing to new business growth.
