    The Download

    Breakthrough is a leading innovator in energy and transportation management dedicated to creating transparent strategies for the world's leading shippers. By leveraging their solid dataset of over $20 billion in annual freight spend and more than 1.5 billion gallons of fuel annually, Breakthrough uncovers freight optimisation and removes distortion from traditional transportation practices.

    The Challenge

    Breakthrough was looking for a partner to enable and work alongside their data team as they built out a modern data stack that provides the analytics insights powering Breakthrough's data-driven products and services.

    The Solution

    After the successful delivery of an initial two-week discovery and planning sprint, Rittman Analytics was then engaged for an initial six-month program of work to help define and then deliver Breakthrough's state-of-the-art data strategy and data architecture.

    Rittman Analytics, a dbt Preferred Consulting Partner, trained and then worked alongside Breakthrough's own internal data team as they adopted a modern software development process for delivering their analytics content.
