Case Study: Reforge achieves company-wide data access and self-service analytics with Metabase

How Metabase became the single source of truth for the Reforge team

Reforge, an education company in San Francisco, needed a better way to answer business questions than running SQL queries and exporting results to spreadsheets. After previously using Looker, the team was looking for a lightweight business intelligence solution that could give the whole company access to critical data.

Metabase was implemented as Reforge’s BI tool and became the company’s single source of truth, with dashboards, shared queries, and scheduled Slack/email updates helping teams self-serve insights across the business. The impact was significant: Metabase helped democratize access to data, and more than 75% of employees now use it monthly to monitor metrics, analyze behavior, and make better-informed decisions.
