Automating Reporting at Algolia

Algolia, like many companies, faced challenges with their quarterly review process due to manual and time-consuming tasks. To transform this into an automated workflow, they utilized Fivetran for data retrieval from Salesforce, dbt for data transformation, Hex for querying the data warehouse, and Google Sheets for visualization. This automation significantly reduced the time spent on these tasks, improved accuracy, and allowed the team to focus on more strategic projects. The success of this initiative has prompted Algolia to extend automation to other teams with routine reporting needs.
