“The foundation of this partnership with Robling is based on their credibility and proven product in the space. The founders have spent decades dedicated to the retail industry solving the problem of data unification,” said Rosemary Hua, Global Head of Retail and CPG for Snowflake. “Previous efforts in the industry to standardize on a data model have been met with competing interests, requiring customers to turn to technology partners for best-in-class models when migrating platforms. Combined with the explosive growth of Snowflake’s retail and CPG customer base and our unique Data Cloud capabilities, retailers and CPG companies can rely on Robling’s standard, unified data model to realize the significant dollar amounts tied up in their own data, and efficiently share with partners seamlessly through Snowflake’s Data Marketplace.”
