Case Study: Cresco Labs builds a modern cloud analytics platform with Zuar Runner

How Cresco Labs builds a modern cloud analytics platform to retain their place as a market leader in the cannabis industry

Cresco Labs, a major vertically-integrated cannabis operator, faced significant challenges in leveraging its data for a competitive advantage. Their critical business information was trapped in disparate, hard-to-access systems like BioTrackTHC and Dropbox, making it extremely difficult to gain insights. With a short-handed BI team and a tight deadline, they needed a modern cloud analytics solution and turned to vendor Zuar for help.

Zuar implemented a solution using their Zuar Runner platform to automate data extraction and pipelines into Snowflake, with Tableau for visualization. This provided Cresco Labs with an industry-leading, self-service analytics environment. The results included the ability to quickly answer complex business questions, optimize operations, save hours of development time daily, and significantly improve organizational adoption of data practices, solidifying their position as a market leader. Zuar continues to serve as a strategic partner for their long-term initiatives.
