## 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.
