How to Use Data Observability as a Strategic Advantage

Optoro is a technology company that helps manage returned items by finding them new homes, ultimately saving customers money and reducing waste. The company's platform generates large amounts of operational data as returned inventory is routed through various systems. To ensure the quality and reliability of this mission-critical data, Optoro implemented an automated data observability solution using Monte Carlo, a cloud-based tool that learns a company's unique data patterns over time and detects anomalies. By monitoring their entire data ecosystem, Optoro can quickly identify issues and maintain trust in their data among internal stakeholders and clients. The implementation of this modern data stack has saved about four hours of work per data engineer per week and improved overall confidence in the company's data integrity.
