Case Study: Pressboard transforms data operations with Cube Dev

How impact.com’s Pressboard Transformed Its Data Operations with Cube's Universal Semantic Layer

Pressboard, part of impact.com, is a MarTech company that helps publishers, brands, and media teams measure and report on content performance through embedded analytics. As its customer base grew, the small engineering team struggled with custom SQL work, bespoke endpoints for each client, inconsistent reporting, and SQL Server performance bottlenecks. To solve these challenges, Pressboard turned to Cube Dev’s Cube Core and later Cube Cloud for a code-first universal semantic layer.

Cube Dev helped Pressboard centralize data access, enforce multi-tenant permissions, and use pre-aggregations to speed up reporting and reduce strain on the database. After moving to SingleStore, performance issues were resolved with minimal disruption, and the team was able to cut back on custom reporting work, improve data governance, and focus on new product features. The result was faster, more consistent analytics, stronger customer confidence, and expanded capabilities like custom dashboards, benchmarks, and CSV/Excel exports.
