Case Study: Veronica Beard strengthens data trust and quality with Metaplane

Veronica Beard sets up a data stack (almost) as good looking as their clothes

Veronica Beard, a fashion company, faced challenges with data trust and scalability as they grew. Their Director of Data, Max Lagresle, needed to move the company from manual CSV analysis in Excel to a modern data stack. However, after implementing tools like Fivetran, dbt, and Sigma, the team struggled with data quality issues that their existing dbt tests couldn't fully catch, risking stakeholder trust in their data-driven decisions.

They implemented Metaplane for data observability. The solution provided machine-learning based monitors, data CI/CD for safe pull requests, and column-level lineage. This gave the data team peace of mind and allowed them to proactively catch and address data issues. The primary result was a significant increase in trust from business stakeholders, as Metaplane ensured the data team was always the first to know about problems, safeguarding their investment in a single source of truth.
