Case Study: Snapcommerce improves data discovery and governance with Atlan

Why Snapcommerce Chose to Start Data Cataloging

The customer, Snapcommerce, a mobile shopping company scaling across multiple verticals, faced a challenge in standardizing data definitions and documentation across their organization. Their tech-savvy employees needed a user-friendly, self-serve tool to eliminate redundant questions and ensure a single source of truth for their data assets. To address this, they selected the data catalog from vendor Atlan.

Snapcommerce implemented Atlan's data catalog for its strong search, automated crawling, and crucial features like data lineage, user permissions, and a centralized glossary. The solution required an initial investment of time from their data team to populate definitions, but it has since enabled efficient self-service analytics and knowledge sharing. The vendor Atlan provided a tool that has become essential for navigating their data, saving time for both business stakeholders and the data team by making information easily discoverable and reducing the need for direct inquiries.
