ZEGO
Full-scale data modernisation for business resilience
A strategic migration to Snowflake and dbt that cuts costs, removes the scalability limits of the legacy setup, and gives Zego's teams a platform they can keep building on.
The client
Zego provides innovative car insurance solutions built for freelance drivers, riders, and shared mobility services. This is a fast-moving segment of the insurance market, where flexible cover and quick access to data both matter to staying competitive. Zego's ability to launch new products and act on insights depends on a data platform that can keep pace with that speed.
Key results
Higher resilience across the data platform
Lower operating costs compared to legacy
Scalable platform, ready to support new use cases
Shorter time to value for new data products
Self-service data access for business & tech teams
The challenge
Zego's data warehouse ran on Redshift, and the setup had become a limiting factor rather than a support to the business.
Costs were high, and the system struggled with scalability and reliability. In a market where new products and data-driven decisions need to move fast, this held Zego back from keeping up with a competitive industry landscape.
The Solution
Migrating to a modern platform
We moved Zego's legacy systems onto a modern platform built on Snowflake, replacing the constraints of the old warehouse with a foundation designed to scale.
Business continuity
The migration involved hundreds of data sources and tables, all moved across from Redshift without disrupting the business along the way.
Preserving functionality while adding capability
Core data platform functionality stayed intact throughout the migration, and the new platform layered on a host of additional benefits on top of what Zego had before.
Self-service
The new platform gives Zego's business and tech teams a better way of working together. Data access no longer sits with a single point of expertise, so teams can work with the platform directly and keep building on it as new needs come up.
The result
Zego now leverages a modern, AI-ready data platform built for the pace of the industry.
The move to Snowflake has brought down costs and removed the scalability and reliability issues that came with the old Redshift setup, giving Zego a more resilient base to work from.
New use cases reach production faster, and self-service access means business and tech teams collaborate more easily, with the agility to expand the platform as Zego's needs grow.
