CoolPlanet moves from fragile spreadsheets to a Fivetran, dbt and Snowflake data stack

CoolPlanet's dated Snowflake User Groups Ireland customer presentation describes its journey from a fragile Google Sheets and basic-BI setup that did not scale to a production-grade modern data stack using Fivetran, dbt and Snowflake, with the session focused on the resulting operational data-engineering workflow.

Organisation
CoolPlanet, Ireland
Predecessor
Fragile Google Sheets setup with a basic BI tool that did not scale
Destination
Production-grade modern data stack using Fivetran, dbt and Snowflake
Workload
Fivetran, dbt and Snowflake modern data stack
Stage
operational
Evidence boundary: The dated 30 April 2026 vendor-hosted CoolPlanet presentation proves the bounded transition from the source-described spreadsheet/basic-BI setup to the production-grade Fivetran, dbt and Snowflake stack by that evidence horizon. It does not disclose a private exact cutover day, prove retirement of every historical spreadsheet or BI workflow, or extend the claim beyond the stack described in the customer session.
