Case Study: Parachute Home improves data quality and protects order integrity with Metaplane

Parachute Home Makes Their Data as High Quality as their Bedding with Metaplane

Parachute Home, a premium home furnishings retailer, faced challenges in maintaining data quality for its self-service analytics program. Their small data team relied on dbt tests but needed a more robust solution to catch issues that occurred between daily pipeline runs and anomalies they wouldn't have known to check for. They turned to the data observability platform Metaplane to help them proactively identify data problems before business stakeholders or customers would notice.

By implementing Metaplane, the Parachute Home team gained comprehensive monitoring for data freshness, row count anomalies, and custom SQL metrics. Metaplane’s schema change alerts were particularly valuable for catching upstream modifications in tools like HubSpot. This allowed the team to quickly investigate and fix issues, such as a permissions error that blocked order data syncing, preventing any impact on reporting. The vendor Metaplane provided the tools for the data team to safeguard data integrity, retain stakeholder trust, and ensure the business could reliably answer any question through their analytics.
