How the platform is built

Architecture

Connectors, a reconciled retail data model on Snowflake, and a business layer your teams can query.

What the architecture is responsible for

Pipelines, the warehouse, and recovery stay managed, so teams spend their time on the model rather than the plumbing.

  1. 01

    Data pipelines

    ETL for Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, JDA, Aptos, and custom extracts, loaded in real time or in batch.

  2. 02

    Elastic cloud warehouse

    The retail data model runs on Snowflake, with room to scale as the data and the number of users grow.

  3. 03

    Security and recovery

    Backup, disaster recovery, and failover are part of the managed architecture.
