Building data-driven stories
“Every new source implementation, if I had to do it myself, would take about two or three months. With Erathos, it's done in a few hours. I don't need the skills of a data engineer to generate real value from the company's data.”
Bruno RossoData Analyst, Brick Software
“Erathos revolutionized data management at WE. By integrating multiple SaaS tools into a single DW, our technical team now focuses on the core business. We implemented dashboards with insights across every area, enriching our organizational culture and improving our decision-making.”
Matheus NunesCTO & co-founder, WePayments
“We used to have a lot of rework, and now we don't. It's more efficient to work this way. If it's not your core business, hire Erathos. Spend your time modeling your own domain, not someone else's.”
Carlos SchwabeCo-Founder & CDO, Brick
“If I didn't have this infrastructure, I'd need three or four people to do what Erathos does today. I was able to generate real value from my data with a much leaner setup than I thought I'd need. That's the core of building a data-driven culture: the team only uses data when they can trust it.”
Thiago PazCFO, Brick
“Erathos brought a practical turnaround at CCM. We were able to integrate financial systems, CRM, and processes with BigQuery in just a few clicks, with no technical team required. That gave us a reliable data warehouse that powers automations, dashboards, and even our customer service bots.”
Gustavo LoforteTechnology Manager, CCM Group
“The robustness and efficiency of Erathos's connectors — whether for Meta, Google, RD Station, or ERPs like Bling and Conta Azul — make the whole process much faster and more reliable. The technical documentation is extremely well put together and intuitive, which makes implementation much easier.”
Sayuri ValenteProject Manager, Xperiun
