Part of their consulting is ensuring their customers use the most efficient tools available in the market to meet their needs - like Fivetran, dbt Labs, and BigQuery.
Before Fivetran
Prior to working with Mighty Digital, this transportation startup had no clear understanding of the cost-effectiveness of various ad campaigns. Their previous ETL pipeline was built using Airflow and Python transformations to get the data into a warehouse. Looker models were used as a final layer of transformations on top. Mighty Digital’s initial investigation uncovered this architecture was prone to errors, missing data points and overall inefficient. The team did not have accurate advertising results to action on, so Mighty Digital was brought in to re-imagine and re-engineer a more stable, insightful data architecture.
Negative consequences
The existing solution was convoluted. It was multiple softwares, stitched together, to create a confusing, complex architecture that provided no insights. Its complex and inefficient data stack and ETL solution led to:
- Lack of data insight, reliability and availability
- Inefficient marketing campaigns and ad spend
- Inability to turn data into customer retention optimizations
- Decreased trust in data due to errors

- Mighty Digital shifted from ETL to cloud-based ELT with Fivetran, dbt Core, BigQuery and Looker
- Fivetran data models reduced engineering time and provided best-in-class modeling, out-of-the-box
- Fivetran provided stable data pipelines that could be easily transformed and scaled with our Fivetran Transformations for dbt Core
- The client now has trustworthy, fast advertising insights centralized in one source of truth
“The overall process of implementing Fivetran and dbt together was very straightforward. Sometimes I wondered if these two technologies were created for one another. The ease with which you set up the source data integrations, connect pre-configured models for that source, and then integrate it all into a set of transformations is just outstanding. You can go from zero to hero in a matter of days or even hours instead of weeks or months.”
