“During the evaluation phase, we found Census to be so much more user friendly. It’s one of the best tools that I've ever used in terms of how easy it is to integrate with other tools, connect to Snowflake, and even build segments. It's literally very intuitive and it feels like the people who've created the product have really tried to put themselves in the user's shoes.”
"We've been able to train folks who traditionally would write out a request form, send it to the BI team, and wait a few days to get their data. Now we've got analysts outside of the BI team, folks who aren't comfortable writing code or merging changes into our BI repo, that can set up their own connections to feed their operations tools out of our warehouse."
"This is revolutionary. When we first implemented the data warehouse, we tried to be digital leaders in sport but could never get to a personalized experience. We had the warehouse but couldn’t activate it, because I didn’t want to build a monolithic system and the API. This makes me so happy."
“Our sales people don’t want to look at 10 different tools to understand what our users are doing. The system we’ve built with Census brings the data right to their fingertips so they can focus and spend more time with customers.”
"Without Census, our sales reps would be flying blind or need a dedicated sales analyst to support them."
"Data teams get stretched thin. It’s so important that the operational people can just own the operations pieces."
“I remember it was Halloween when I first noticed, We were using a manual process to correlate information when I realized the trial numbers I saw in one place didn’t match with what I saw in the other. We later found out that half the people who were signing up for our product weren’t getting into our system at all because there was something broken.”
"Census makes it really easy to sync audiences into our Ad platforms. I build my audiences on top of models from my data team, click go, and it just works."
“An indispensable tool for BizOps and Go-to-market teams."
"We've always had analytics data coming through to Customer.io through Segment, but there was previously no ability to transform that data. There was a clear gap for us around the way we handled ETL and our ETL layer."
“We were setting up Salesforce and Facebook ads. We were needing to sync data into those two different platforms from our data warehouse, because we wanted to export some set of users, like, ‘people who have been active in the last 90 days’ for example.”
"We evaluated what it would take to build these capabilities, and it was a six-month process to create an MVP with just a handful of platforms. It just didn't make sense. With Census Embedded, I can keep my development overhead low and focus on what makes NextAfter unique. Moving faster is going to translate into much better results and ROI long term."
“If we don’t have this data, we’re not going to have a Sales team.”
"Census’s warehouse logging enables healthy end-to-end data flows by helping us drill down to each record and ensure data quality. We can find bottlenecks in our ETL provider and our own transformations, not just reverse ETL pipelines."
"Census makes data a lot more accessible. Reps want to have the data they need immediately to be able to act on it. Now they can actually do that."
