Advantages of Census

Build once. Reuse everywhere.

Once you define your models in dbt or in Census, you can sync them to all your tools, so every team is using the same data to achieve their goals.

No more CSV files & Python scripts

Focus on improving data quality and collaboration, not writing custom code to integrate with Go-t0-Market tools. Census takes care of getting the data into the hands of your business team. No engineering favors required.

It just works. At scale.

Whether you sync 100 records or 100 billion, we will keep your data in sync across your warehouse and your business tools. Census automatically navigates API failures and monitors errors to keep you aware of worst case scenarios.

Data Activation Use Cases

Syncing from dbt

dbt (data build tool) is a data modeling and data management tool that enables analytics engineers to transform data in their warehouses by simply writing select statements. dbt handles turning these select statements into tables and views. dbt approach to data modeling is the leading paradigm for ELT (Extract, Load, Transform). It makes it easy to transform data that has been delivered to the data warehouse via an ETL tool like Fivetran, Stitch, or Airbyte. Census has a native integration with dbt that expands the reach of your trustworthy models by putting them into the places where business teams can take action.

Now you can use the data in dbt for more than just analytics and BI. With Amazon dbt you can operationalize your data across your entire customer data stack.
