Astera’s Data Pipeline Heroes

In this article, we will take a close look at three distinct case studies—VinSolutions, CRC Industries, and Vanderbilt University—each exemplifying how innovative data pipeline processes have earned them hero status. These stories highlight the role of data pipelines in reshaping the operational landscapes of their companies.??

VinSolutions by Cox Automotive Keeps Track of Over One Million Cars?

VinSolutions is the data service intermediary between car dealerships and prominent online car marketing platforms like AutoTrader.com, and therefore faces the monumental task of integrating data from numerous dealership management systems (DMSs) into its core system. With over a million cars requiring daily updates on more than 100 individual pieces of data each, VinSolutions deals with a colossal volume of information.??

VinSolutions incorporated Astera Data Pipelines to significantly reduce vendor on-boarding time from 368 developer hours to just 2, eliminating extensive custom coding and data mapping work. They have been able to seamlessly streamline automation and scheduling, while ensuring the accuracy and integrity of integrated data. As a result, VinSolutions has not only enhanced operational efficiency but has also paved the way for non-developers in their implementation department to configure variances from dealer to dealer. This transformation has enabled VinSolutions to keep up with the dynamic automotive market, demonstrating their status as a true data management hero.?
