How we transform data operations
How a top global logistics leader boosted BI performance by 65% with Snowflake
One wrong move during their Snowflake migration could have brought down hundreds of BI applications and reports. With legacy systems built over 15 years and rising maintenance costs putting operations at risk, this top-5 global logistics company faced its most critical data challenge yet.
One wrong move during their Snowflake migration could have brought down hundreds of BI applications and reports. With legacy systems built over 15 years and rising maintenance costs putting operations at risk, this top-5 global logistics company faced its most critical data challenge yet.
Our experts at Snowstack stepped in to navigate this complex transformation. The outcome? A smooth migration that turned the company’s greatest risk into a long-term competitive advantage.
Key outcomes:
- Report performance improved by 65%, with dashboards running in minutes instead of hours.
- Infrastructure costs fell by 40% while system performance increased.
- The migration achieved zero disruption, maintaining 100% uptime.
- Over 65% of legacy SQL was converted automatically, saving months of effort.
- More than 40 developers were trained and upskilled on Snowflake.
Over the years, our BI teams developed an effective approach to data modeling, which had long been a strength. However, with the ongoing migration of the central data warehouse to Snowflake, we knew that adopting new tools could take months, if not years. We urgently needed support from Snowflake professionals to guide the adoption process and help our BI teams incorporate the new technology into their workflows. - Lead Data Architect
Client overview
The client operates as one of the top 5 key players in the industry, managing supply chains that span multiple continents and serve millions of customers worldwide. Their data ecosystem had evolved organically, supporting hundreds of BI applications that power everything from real-time shipment tracking to route optimization algorithms.
The client’s BI reports weren't just internal dashboard. They powered customer-facing systems that enterprise clients used to track shipments worth millions of dollars. Any disruption to these systems could trigger contract penalties and damage relationships with major accounts.
The challenge
15 years of business growth had created a BI environment that was difficult to manage. Hundreds of reports were built independently by different teams with varying skill levels. Although they all drew from the same data warehouse, each team applied its own transformation logic within separate BI systems. What began as team-specific solutions had grown into a web of technical debt that no one fully understood.
Our solution
Recognizing the critical need for modernization, the client made the strategic decision to unify their data model and move it to Snowflake alongside their ongoing data warehouse migration. We guided the client through five steps.
Step 1: identifying the foundation
Together with the client, we analysed their extensive BI landscape to identify the datasets most frequently used across reports. This joint assessment defined a minimum viable product (MVP) scope that would deliver immediate value and build momentum for the broader transformation.
Step 2: building the Snowflake environment
We worked with the client to establish a dedicated Snowflake environment designed specifically for BI collaboration. Together, we implemented:
- Standardized schemas and roles to ensure consistent data access patterns across teams
- Compute scaling strategies optimized for BI workloads
- Role-based access control (RBAC) to strengthen governance
- BI-specific access patterns tailored to Snowflake datasets
Step 3: automating the migration process
To accelerate the transition and protect prior investments, we partnered with the client to implement automated migration scripts that converted legacy SQL into Snowflake SQL. This achieved a 65% automatic refactor success rate, dramatically reducing manual work while preserving business logic.
Step 4: orchestrating seamless integration
In close collaboration, we designed and deployed new orchestration pipelines that synchronized Snowflake model builds with BI report refreshes. These pipelines were integrated with the client’s existing technology stack, including:
- Airflow Snowflake Operator for workflow management
- AWS SNS for notifications
- AWS S3 for data staging
- Git for version control
Step 5: investing in the team
Recognizing that technology transformation must go hand-in-hand with people transformation, we partnered with the client to deliver training for more than 40 BI developers. This knowledge transfer ensured teams could confidently work with Snowflake as their new backend, embedding long-term value into the organization.
Foundation for Future Innovation
Still running hundreds of disconnected BI reports with inconsistent data models?

Client overview
Our client is a financial services company generating $500M in annual revenue with a team of 2,500 employees across North America and Europe. In the midst of rapid growth, they were transitioning from legacy systems to a modern cloud data platform built on Snowflake. But they faced rising cloud costs and a fragmented data landscape.
The challenge
Our client had ambitious AI and GenAI goals, but lacked the foundational architecture to support them cost-effectively.
The client knew what Snowflake could deliver but needed the right partner to design, implement, and operationalize a solution that would translate that capability into measurable business value.
Our solution
The client set out to gain full visibility, governance, and scalability in their cloud environment. By partnering with us, they implemented a modern, AI-ready data platform built on Snowflake to address the challenges limiting performance.
Unified data Ingestion with OpenFlow
They consolidated structured and unstructured data from SharePoint, Salesforce, and custom systems into a single ingestion framework, eliminating fragmented pipelines and enabling real-time analytics.
Centralized Metadata and governance with Horizon Catalog
They integrated metadata from BI tools, dbt models, and Iceberg tables into one governed repository, achieving full lineage visibility, consistent KPIs, and stronger compliance controls.
Consistent logic with semantic views
Business rules were embedded directly into the data layer. This made sure that every team worked from the same definitions for analytics and AI training.
Self-service analytics with Cortex AI SQL
Business users can now query governed datasets in natural language, reducing reliance on engineering and accelerating decision-making.
FinOps cost governance
Daily cost visibility, clear ownership tracking, and accurate forecasting were integrated into operations, turning cost control into a proactive practice.
Why it mattered
If you can’t see your cloud costs, you’re losing money. In many enterprises, unused services, duplicate workloads, and unclear cost ownership quietly drain millions each year. Without visibility and governance, budgets overspend, AI projects stall, and growth slows.
Our team provides the insight and control to stop waste, making every cloud dollar accountable and directly tied to business results. So start controlling your cloud spend today.
