Oakland, Calif., October 17, 2023 ‒ Fivetran, the global leader in automated data movement, and Crane Worldwide Logistics, a leader in global supply chain solutions, have won Ventana Research’s 2023 Digital Leadership Award in the analytics category. This award recognizes the organization and technology that best exemplifies leadership in any use or application of analytics across business or IT.

Crane Worldwide Logistics, a Houston-based supply chain company specializing in intermodal transportation and warehousing, selected Fivetran to help migrate data into Snowflake. What started as a targeted solution morphed into an ongoing partnership providing a fast and consistent entrypoint to Crane’s data ecosystem. With Fivetran deployed across the organization, Crane estimates 80% time savings on undifferentiated activity for engineers and delivery time of new data capture reduced from months to hours. 

“Utilizing Fivetran reduced both TCO and time to value for many key data initiatives,” said Jared Noynaert, Vice President, Data & Analytics at Crane Worldwide Logistics. “With Fivetran Local Data Processing as a reliable entrypoint to our data ecosystem, engineers can focus on driving innovation instead of tuning undifferentiated ETL jobs, without giving up flexibility or configurability for critical change data capture workloads. As a result, downstream data consumers can rely on complete, timely data with strict SLA adherence.”

The Ventana Research Digital Leadership awards spotlights the individuals and organizations that have utilized and championed modernization and transformation across their people, processes, information, and technology to grow their business and industry market potential.

As part of the grading process and methodology, the Ventana awards team examined case studies and submissions to evaluate the organization's use of people, processes, information, and technology to the impact and performance that resulted from the use of technology. The examination of best practices and methods used, the degree of team involvement, and the project's business impact and value. This year’s nominations crossed many industries and different-sized organizations.

"Congratulations to Jared Noynaert and Crane Worldwide Logistics using Fivetran for receiving the 16th annual Ventana Research Digital Leadership Award in Analytics," said David Menninger, SVP and Research Director at Ventana Research. "Together they have unlocked organizational data silos and are making data available more quickly to support decision making across the organization, improving customer experience, employee satisfaction, operational efficiency, and the environment."
