Case Study: Coltene achieves reliable SAP-to-Snowflake replication with Estuary

Coltene Group cuts Snowflake ingestion costs by 85% with Estuary

The Coltene Group, a global dental product manufacturer, faced the challenge of reliably transferring massive amounts of data from its complex, on-premises SAP system, which contained 120,000 SQL Server tables, into Snowflake for analytics. After other data movement solutions failed, they turned to Estuary to build the data pipeline.

Estuary worked closely with Coltene's IT team to overcome initial technical hurdles, successfully capturing data from 100 key tables and streaming it to Snowflake. The solution provided by Estuary resulted in a data transfer that was an order of magnitude faster than competitors, with data landing in Snowflake in under a second. This reliable pipeline also led to a 50% reduction in daily Snowflake credit consumption, contributing to an overall cost savings of 85% for Coltene.
