Case Study: Buildertrend achieves trusted self-service data with Atlan

Buildertrend Drives Trusted, Self-service Data with Atlan

Buildertrend, a residential construction technology leader, faced challenges with data scalability and trust as its team grew. The company needed a single source of truth to democratize data and move beyond an unsustainable, ticket-based request model to support its data-driven culture. They turned to the vendor Atlan to implement its active metadata platform as a modern data catalog to solve this.

By implementing Atlan, Buildertrend created a centralized, trusted data catalog with automated lineage and meticulous documentation standards. The Atlan platform provided the excellent search experience and API maturity needed to empower employees with self-service data access, reducing reliance on the data science team for basic queries and paving the way for full data democratization.
