Charts That Change Lives

That’s why we exist. Whether they enable scientists to help someone walk again or detect tumours earlier, help a Formula 1 driver gain a podium position or put an astronaut back on the moon, charts make a fundamental difference in everyday lives. That’s because the best data visualisations unlock insights that would otherwise not have been possible. And that has never mattered more than now.

The explosion in data – creating data is easier and cheaper than ever but making sense of all that data is getting harder too.

Machine learning – Machine learning is unleashing the power of data visualisation to help us see what really matters in ways that were previously possible

Real-time sensor data – Real-time sensor data enables us to shorten the distance between success and failure to seconds and minutes. If we use it

For a lot of organisations, the standard off-the-shelf or open-source chart libraries are good enough, but we set out to build an ultra-high-performance product for developers, like me, who push at the boundaries of what’s possible. As I see what thousands of developers around the world are doing with our charts today I know that every time they succeed, we do too.

Our Clients are
using SciChart to do
extraordinary things.

Charting opens up worlds. Our mission is to enable today’s developers and data explorers to see further, see faster, and see without compromise

SciChart was founded because there was a clear gap in the market for ultra-high-performance charting for use in mission-critical or complex applications. Unlike market alternatives, our cross-platform libraries have been developed for the most demanding enterprise developers – where compromise is not an option. That’s why, thanks to the developers who choose us, you’ll find our charts looking across billions of miles of space, exploring 100kms underground, in ICUs, in high-performance sports and in R&D units around the world

Our Story


​​SciChart was born from necessity. Andrew Burnett-Thompson, our founder, while working on 3D positioning of underwater objects using ultrasound found that, despite having built the hardware and software he required to do this, he was still missing a chart control that could draw a large amount of data. So, as all good engineers do, he wrote his own software to do just that. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Early versions of SciChart were able to draw up to 1 million data points, and, having blogged about the process and presented a few demos, companies were soon contacting Andrew to find out when the software would be ready. He then built a website integrating e-commerce, and the first version went live in March 2012. Not long after, SciChart had its first customer. In its first year, it sold almost $200,000 of software licenses at approximately $599 per license. All the money was re-invested into hiring staff to help develop and maintain it, and new features and improved performance quickly followed.

To date, SciChart has served over 10,000 customers, won industry and national awards.. It continues to grow year-on-year, bringing in new high-level clients in industries including aerospace, medical, oil & gas, elite motorsports, industrial automation, banking, crypto and more. During this time, SciChart has also given free licenses to hundreds of universities, including Stanford, MIT, Imperial College and more.
