Case Study: 7shifts saved over 10 hours per analyst each week with Secoda
Key results
The challenge
7shifts, a team-management platform for restaurants, organizes its product and data teams into cross-functional squads that each include a data analyst. As the company and data team scaled, analysts spent significant time on repetitive questions about how metrics were calculated, and knowledge was scattered across documents, making onboarding slow.
The solution
The data team implemented Secoda's data dictionary to standardize metric definitions and its Collections feature to organize documentation for onboarding. Secoda served as a single source of truth accessible to both technical and non-technical team members.
The results, in context
7shifts saved over 10 hours per analyst each week and increased the data team's capacity by 5 to 10 hours per week per analyst. Data access within the team doubled, and new team members were onboarded seven days faster.
