Case Study: Dwolla achieves faster reporting and scalable data infrastructure with Tableau Software

Engineers at payment processing company, Dwolla scale data infrastructure with Tableau and AWS

Dwolla is a fast‑growing payments company that moves money for businesses and needed a cost‑effective, scalable way to manage escalating data volumes and time‑consuming reporting. Engineers were spending weeks producing reports and dashboards, limiting agility and inhibiting timely customer insights and fraud detection.

By adopting AWS for storage and processing and Tableau for analytics and visualization, Dwolla built a flexible, future‑proof data stack with native connectors to Redshift, EMR, SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL. The change cut reporting time from weeks to hours or days, freed engineering resources, enabled company‑wide collaboration on hundreds of workbooks, and empowered teams to analyze customer demographics and map fraud hot spots—helping protect members while keeping costs low.
