Case Study: Ollie automates stale dashboard cleanup with Lightdash

Ollie automates 95% of dashboard maintenance with Lightdash

Ollie, a pet wellness brand, faced a challenge with its analytics platform where stale and duplicate dashboards created significant maintenance overhead for its data team. This was a side effect of having widespread access to their previous tool, Looker, which had become difficult to manage. The team needed a solution to automate the cleanup process and save valuable engineering time. They turned to Lightdash and its Autopilot feature to address this issue.

Lightdash implemented its Autopilot AI agent, which automatically cleans and maintains projects on a scheduled basis. For Ollie, Autopilot was configured to handle content stale for 90 days, safely deleting or flagging items for review. This solution saved the data team over 10 hours per month in manual maintenance, automatically handled 95% of the upkeep, and took over 1000 maintenance actions. The data team at Ollie now has a clean, governed project that runs in the background, allowing them to focus on more valuable work.
