Case Study: Pipe Technologies achieves organization-wide self-serve analytics with Preset

Transitioning from Looker to Preset to Enable Organization-Wide Self-Serve Analytics

Pipe Technologies, an alternative financing platform, faced challenges with its previous business intelligence tools, Looker and Redash. Looker's reliance on LookML made it difficult to maintain a consistent semantic layer, and its pricing was not scalable for their growing company, while Redash offered limited visualization options. To enable organization-wide self-serve analytics, they turned to the vendor Preset and its managed Apache Superset service.

The solution implemented by Preset provided a dataset-centric approach that improved query performance and offered superior visualization flexibility. This enabled self-serve analytics across the organization, with 40-50% of employees using the tool monthly. Various teams, including marketing, finance, and product, now use Preset to drive data-informed decisions and monitor key performance metrics, centralizing their business intelligence repository.
