No longer wasting time collecting data, a single source of truth helped boost productivity and decrease data errors
Challenges
Goodway Group had a full-time team just for building and maintaining different platform APIs. This group was responsible for collecting and moving information from various sources before integrating the platform with client data. Then, they transferred the data into Goodway Group’s CRM to analyze it and finally, prepared client campaign performance reports to share with both internal and external teams.
In addition to this process, the data staff also kept up daily emails from different platforms about API changes. They’d have to manually update them in Excel and then push them into workflows. To make matters worse, the group was plagued by constant interruptions such as dealing with varying naming conventions from individual platforms, as this isn’t standardized across the industry. Overall, they wanted a faster and more accurate way to get data into Redshift so they could analyze campaign performance results in near real-time.
"We can focus on the bigger challenges now because we no longer worry about how to move data from point A to B. In partnering with Adverity, we knew we’d be in this together and ultimately, that meant more than anything else."

Adverity's impact
Centralizing Goodway Group’s data provided almost instantaneous time saved and better productivity. With Adverity, the agency onboarded two new platforms from start to finish and had them working in the applications for clients and internal teams. Once considered an extensive process that required multiple teams, resources, and a timeframe of up to a year to complete, adding new platforms could now be accomplished in a mere two-weeks.
Adverity’s solution helped automate data, transforming the staff’s daily workflows and overall efficiency. Letting go of manually collecting data from different platforms felt both encouraging and satisfying. The group experienced a renewed sense of energy and focus to build more sophisticated business solutions for clients. Goodway Group’s Senior Technical Product Manager Mike Forst described Adverity’s solutions as a “night and day difference that completely changed the game for us.”
