"Databrain allowed us to create a fully custom analytics module. Anybody in the org was now able to create metrics and share data with their tool"

Swaminathan N ,Chief Product Officer @ Freightify

The Problem

Metabase Couldn't Keep Up with Freightify's Scaling Needs

Freightify was in hyper growth mode and required a scalable analytics solution. They initially utilized Metabase but however faced challenges due to its limited customizability and lag in processing millions of rows of data. The inability to create customizable reports and process large datasets hindered their operations.

Realizing the need for a better solution, Freightify tried to build a tool in-house, but quickly realized the time and substantial engineering effort required to build a scalable reporting module.

The Solution

Enhancing Speed, Scalability, and Customization with Databrain

Freightify evaluated various tools in the market and decided to leverage Databrain's embedded analytics module. Several factors influenced this decision like Databrain's ability to manage large datasets with billions of rows of data, its rapid implementation speed compared to other market solutions, and the tool's comprehensive customization features.

With Databrain, Freightify found a partner that could provide a genuine white- labeled experience, down to the smallest details such as chart prefix & suffix customizations. Additionally, Databrain's low-code environment was a game- changer, allowing Freightify's product managers to build dashboards in minutes, even with no SQL knowledge

"Metabase was too slow. It didn't offer customization & we were unable to download and process higher volumes of data"

Sreevalli , PM @ Freightify

The Result

Faster Deployment, Seamless Experience, and Cost Savings

  • Cost-saving: Freightify saved $200k and 7 months of engineering effort.
  • Time to market: Freightify deployed databrain in a week.
  • White-labeled experience: Custom dashboards could now be created and embedded in minutes.
