About The Customer

The Challenge
Red Ventures (RV), a global company with a focus on positively impacting people’s lives and communities, was facing a challenge in managing marketing data efficiently. The company's Red Digital division provides end-to-end performance marketing services to help business-to-consumer (B2C) services providers attract new customers. To deliver greater value to clients, RV needed to use timely insights from data to reach the right consumers. However, maintaining each client’s data in a separate cloud environment and integrating each client’s data for machine learning predictions was proving to be a tedious and time-consuming task. Data engineers had to write custom scripts to ingest data for each client, which was not an efficient use of their time and skills.
The Solution
To address this challenge, RV implemented Databricks to scale data engineering pipelines and speed up insights. The company also used Fivetran for data ingestion and dbt™ for data transformations. Databricks became the engine that performed RV’s heaviest computing tasks. For each client environment, RV set up a dedicated Databricks workspace, Fivetran connectors, and dbt™ projects that only designated employees could access. All three solutions fed data into a machine learning pipeline that drove functions such as budgeting for clients’ advertising spend. RV also received click data, event views, page views, scrolling depth, and more into its warehouse, simplifying and automating its ETL workloads.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
