Case Study: Vestiaire Collective builds a single source of truth with Catalog

Vestiaire Collective cuts weekly KPI review time by 50% with Catalog

Vestiaire Collective, a global marketplace for pre-loved luxury fashion, faced significant data governance challenges due to its rapid growth. The company was struggling with over 8,000 ungoverned Snowflake tables and more than 600 dashboards, leading to data redundancy, confusion, and analysts wasting 3-4 hours daily answering basic questions. To address this chaos, they turned to the vendor Coalesce, adopting their Catalog product to establish a single source of truth.

By implementing Coalesce Catalog, Vestiaire Collective created a central platform for data discovery and governance. The solution provided a trusted single source of truth, which streamlined processes and saved considerable time. The measurable impact was substantial: the Data Analytics team reduced time spent answering questions from 3-4 hours to just 1 hour per day, and the weekly KPI review meeting was shortened from two hours to one, with analyst prep time cut by 50%. The success of Coalesce's solution fostered company-wide confidence in data and empowered 60 users across the organization to contribute to documentation.
