Case Study: Sentinel Marine Solutions improves performance and simplifies data management with Tiger Data

Sentinel Marine Solutions scales fleet data without new databases using Timescale, cutting operational complexity

Sentinel Marine Solutions, a provider of maritime fleet management solutions, faced performance issues as their fleet grew rapidly. Their PostgreSQL database experienced degraded performance when writing sensor data, leading to slow loading times for customers accessing historical information. Initial tuning efforts were only a temporary fix, so they required a permanent solution from their vendor, Timescale, to handle the increasing data load.

By implementing Timescale's Tiger Data, Sentinel consolidated relational, time-series, and geospatial data within a single system. This eliminated the need to manage multiple databases, reducing operational complexity. The solution from Timescale provided fast data processing and enabled quicker testing of new ideas, which resulted in tremendous gains in developer productivity and overall system performance, leading to a better customer experience.
