Case Study: Digital Planet achieves 1,400% faster data loading with Exasol

Digital Planet cuts data load times by 1,400% with EXASOL

Digital Planet, a South African eCommerce and fulfillment company, faced significant challenges with its legacy SQL Server data warehouse. Their system was slow, with data loading blocking the platform for 30 minutes every hour, preventing real-time reporting and requiring manual ad-hoc work from their BI team. This limited scalability and hindered their goal of providing self-service analytics to their customers using Exasol's database.

By implementing the high-performance Exasol database within a Microsoft Azure cloud architecture, Digital Planet achieved a 1,400% improvement in data loading times, reducing it from 30 to just 2 minutes per hour. This enabled real-time data availability and empowered customers with self-service reporting via Yellowfin visualizations. The solution saved the internal team 36 hours per month in manual reporting, drastically increased customer satisfaction, and provided a scalable platform with predictable costs.
