About The Customer
PriceMoov is a Plug and Play Yield Management solution. Founded in 2016, Pricemoov has been experiencing strong growth. Some of its users are car rentals services, but also airline companies and event organizers. The company delivers optimal pricing suggestions and solutions to its customers by weighing the intrinsic value of the item, its seasonality, and the attributes of the customer himself through detailed segmentation. To do so, Pricemoov collects datasets from its customers that are updated daily through partitioning.
The Challenge
PriceMoov, a service that delivers optimal pricing suggestions and solutions to its customers, was facing a challenge with data originating from old SI systems, Oracle, or MySql. The data was dirty and required a fulltime developer to perform long ETL steps in PHP for cleaning. Once cleaned, the datasets were painfully entered into a model, as they were custom-built pipelines. And once finished, the replication and deployment process for the next customer was taking weeks. This long and arduous data preparation process was causing stale pricing recommendations.
The Solution
PriceMoov discovered Dataiku Data Science Studio (DSS), which transformed their business by allowing them to run proof-of-concepts for potential customers on short notice thanks to significantly faster data cleaning processes and the ability to quickly replicate existing work. The data department at Pricemoov now uses Dataiku to replicate existing workflows to get proof-of-concepts for potential customers up and running quickly, significantly speed up data cleaning and exporting, and better define a specific price per customer that evolves over time by melding data indicating demand with customers’ willingness to pay.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
