## How Jovens Gênios drastically cut data analysis time and built a data-driven culture with Erathos

With a highly data-driven operation, Jovens Gênios faced a challenge common to fast-scaling businesses: the difficulty of consolidating information scattered across spreadsheets, APIs, and databases like Neo4j. This not only ate up team time, it also limited the speed of decision-making — the company needed its information to be centralized, up to date, and accessible to support strategic and operational decisions. Yet the infrastructure was still built on manual spreadsheets.

It was in this context that the edtech found Erathos to be the ideal solution for building automated data pipelines. By eliminating manual processes, Jovens Gênios began centralizing information reliably and in real time, drastically cutting analysis time and building a genuinely data-driven culture with operational savings of more than 3x per month.

## The results

- **150x** — faster data queries (from 5 minutes to 2 seconds)
- **3x** — in savings compared to the cost of hiring an in-house data team
- **20h** — saved weekly by the analyst responsible for the dashboards

## The challenge

## The challenge

The database used by Jovens Gênios, [Neo4j](/connectors/neo4j), promised to serve both transactional and analytics workloads. In practice, analytics performance was unsustainable, especially as the data grew. Queries over large volumes (such as 4 million responses) took up to 5 minutes to run, making a data-driven operation unworkable.

On top of that, without an in-house data engineer, the entire analytics infrastructure rested on a single person — who received dozens of manual spreadsheets from different areas of the company (CRM, finance, CS, etc.), making dashboard reliability and productivity unsustainable.

## The solution

## The solution with Erathos

The transformation came with the implementation of the Erathos platform. Jovens Gênios migrated its analytics pipeline to BigQuery, using Erathos as an efficient bridge between Neo4j and its data warehouse.

This move eliminated the bottlenecks: queries that took 5 minutes now run in 2 seconds or even milliseconds, depending on optimization.

On top of that, with Erathos's ready-made connectors, the edtech quickly integrated data from multiple sources, with no internal development required:

- [ClickUp](/connectors/click-up) (tasks and productivity)
- [Omie](/connectors/omie) (finance)
- [Zendesk](/connectors/zendesk) (support)
- [Neo4J](/connectors/neo4j) (database)

The entire data flow became automatic. Manual spreadsheets were eliminated from the process, and dashboards started reflecting real-time data, securely, scalably, and reliably.

## The results

## The results

- **Up to 20 hours a week saved** for the analyst responsible for dashboards (half of his workload).
- **New data-analysis rituals**, with weekly meetings based on automatically updated dashboards.
- **Dashboards shareable with investors**, always backed by reliable data.
- **Savings of at least 3x** compared to the cost of hiring an in-house data team (estimate: R$17K/month vs. Erathos's R$2,999).
- **Guaranteed scalability**: in the first months of 2025, they processed more than **1.3 billion rows** from Neo4j with stability.

## What's next

## Conclusion

The Jovens Gênios case shows how automating data movement is essential for businesses that want to grow sustainably and stay data-driven. By eliminating manual processes, drastically cutting analysis time, and ensuring real-time, up-to-date data, the edtech strengthened its operations and its decision-making.

> It was impossible to keep the operation running on spreadsheets. Erathos fit like a glove: it became the data engineer I didn't have. We managed to cut analysis time, create weekly data rituals, and — most importantly — trust the information we use.
