Case Study: Zoined (retail analytics provider) achieves 3x faster analytics and 24-hour customer onboarding with Vertica

Zoined has deployed Vertica to analyze data for smarter decision making

Zoined, founded in 2011, provides ZOINED Retail & Hospitality—an analytics-as-a-service platform for retailers such as The Body Shop and Intersport. As the company scaled, its original open-source columnar database became unsupported and could not meet performance needs; after evaluating alternatives, Zoined found Vertica delivered 2–3× better performance out of the box and met its requirements for speed, scale and advanced features.

Zoined migrated over 450 databases to Vertica in a phased rollout, enabling new customers to be onboarded within 24 hours. Vertica delivered roughly threefold faster analytics, multi‑cloud and on‑prem hosting flexibility, and simple data‑based pricing, letting customers deploy analytics broadly (no per‑user fees) and yielding measurable business impact—one pilot store improved performance by about 20%.
