A Sesame Software Case Study
Buzztime is a Carlsbad, CA–based interactive entertainment company that provides trivia, games and tablet-based services to more than 2,700 bars, restaurants and other venues (including Buffalo Wild Wings, T.G.I. Friday’s and Applebee’s) and has expanded into digital menus. As its platform and customer base grew, Buzztime struggled to marry data from cloud systems (Salesforce and NetSuite) and make new fields immediately available in Tableau so dozens of distributed employees could run timely reports and dashboards.
Buzztime adopted Sesame Software’s Relational Junction to replicate and ETL data into a usable warehouse for Tableau. The solution automatically detects schema changes, is easy to integrate with basic SQL skills, and eliminated the need for proprietary report generation—saving the company more than $50,000 a year—while improving dashboard effectiveness and reducing reliance on additional engineers or licensing.
