Retail Data Integration FAQ

How is this different from standard ETL tools?

Our AI agents automate 80–90% of configuration that standard ETL requires manually — and adapt automatically when sources change.

Unlike generic tools, it includes CPG-specific harmonization logic built in

AI agents automate 80–90% of that work

Adapts automatically when sources change

Does it integrate with our existing warehouse and BI tools?

Yes — built on Databricks, it connects natively with Snowflake, Synapse, BigQuery, Redshift, Tableau, Power BI and Looker via standard APIs and SQL.

How does the PoC work?

Four weeks, 5 real sources from your environment, fixed price of $25–30K credited toward full implementation.

Four weeks duration

5 real sources from your environment

Fixed price of $25–30K

Credited toward full implementation

Delivers a working prototype and validated business case before any further commitment

What happens when a retailer changes their format without notice?

ML detects structural changes within hours — common changes are corrected automatically, breaking changes trigger prioritized alert with recommended remediation.

ML detects structural changes within hours

Common changes (column additions, renamed fields, date format shifts) corrected automatically

Breaking changes trigger prioritized alert with recommended remediation

Typically resolved in hours not days

How many sources can it handle, and at what cost?

Scales to 1,500+ sources with near-linear cost growth — a 600–1,000 source environment runs on ~$1M/year in infrastructure and support.
