Case Study: Clayco achieves 4× faster pipelines with Astronomer Astro

Clayco speeds pipelines 4× with Astronomer

Clayco, an $8 billion construction firm, faced challenges with fragmented data orchestration across its many systems. Their mix of tools, including Windows Task Scheduler and legacy SSIS servers, caused pipeline delays and failures that impacted critical business operations like payroll. To unify coordination across their modern cloud data stack, they turned to Astronomer and its managed Airflow platform, Astro.

By implementing Astronomer's Astro, Clayco achieved a unified orchestration layer. The results were significant, including pipelines that ran four times faster, a twenty-fold increase in pipeline growth within a year, and the elimination of data delays. This provided real-time visibility into job site performance and directly improved project profitability for Clayco.
