The challenge

Supabase's billing team resolved tickets slowly because agents had to query multiple systems, and fraudulent or misconfigured spend was often detected weeks after the fact. Building analytics such as churn dashboards required months of engineering time.

The solution

Supabase adopted Hex to consolidate billing information and refund actions in one place, surface fraud signals the same day, and let teams build dashboards and churn models using the Notebook Agent.

Hex is absolutely magical. It gives everyone fast, easy access to all the data in the business.
