Case Study: Griffin Marine Services achieves real-time reporting and faster decision-making with Metabase

Griffin Marine Services uses Metabase's built-in CSV database for reporting

Griffin Marine Services, a Perth-based engineering, maintenance, and project management company serving the commercial and defense marine industry, needed a cost-effective business intelligence solution to track project performance. They lacked their own database infrastructure but still required dashboards for revenue, costs, gross profit, and ongoing job value that could update every hour. They chose Metabase and its built-in CSV database to support reporting without adding complex infrastructure.

Metabase solved the problem by storing and analyzing CSV files in its built-in database, with Microsoft Power Automate handling automated file uploads via API. Griffin Marine Services also moved from Power Query to SQL models to simplify and speed up data processing. With Metabase, report generation time dropped significantly, CSV dashboards updated in real time, manual work was reduced, and project managers and executives gained faster, more accurate insights for better decision-making.
