The Problem: Data Teams Are Stuck Between Two Worlds
“We want self-service agility—but not at the cost of engineering rigor.”
- Analysts want to map and move data visually, without
writing code.
- Engineers demand version control, testing, and open
standards (like dbt).
- Current tools force a trade-off:
- Low-code ETL tools → lock you in, expensive, inflexible
- DIY dbt + scripts → powerful but slow, no visual design
👉 Result: Bottlenecks, shadow IT, and costly rework.
Introducing DataMapper Pro
Visual Data Mapping, Done Right
The first platform where business logic meets engineering best practices—in one canvas.
- Draw your data pipelines like a whiteboard (think Excalidraw)
- Instantly generate production-ready dbt jobs
- Ingest from anywhere (databases, CSV, JSON, APIs) → deliver anywhere
- Schedule, monitor, and retry—all in one screen
“It feels like Figma for data—but outputs real engineering artifacts.”
How It Works
Simple for Users, Powerful Under the Hood
- Map
Drag & drop sources and targets. Connect fields visually. Add REST calls,
filters, or joins with ease.
- Generate
One click → clean dbt models + cron schedules. Stored as YAML in your Git
repo.
- Run & Watch
Jobs run securely in your cloud. See success, failures, and lineage in a
single dashboard. Retry with one click.
Real Use Cases – From Day One
| Team |
Use Case |
| Marketing Ops |
Pull CSV leads → enrich via REST API → push to Snowflake + Salesforce |
| Finance |
Extract JSON from banking APIs → transform with dbt → publish to BI |
| Product Analytics |
Ingest event logs → clean & model → export daily CSV for partners |
| Data Engineers |
Replace fragile scripts with visual, version-controlled pipelines |
➡️ Go live in hours, not weeks.

We’re not for everyone—but if you value agility + control, we’re your missing
layer.
Cost & ROI
50–70% Lower TCO vs. Legacy ETL
- Matillion: $24K–$60K/year (plus engineers to manage it)
- Fivetran + dbt Cloud: $15K–$50K/year (plus integration work)
- DataMapper Pro: From $5K/year (SMB) or open-core/self-host free
Savings come from:
- 80% faster pipeline builds (visual design)
- No double-paying for ingestion + transformation
- Reduced engineer dependency for simple flows
- No vendor lock-in → avoid costly migrations
“We cut our ETL spend by 60% and onboarded 10x more citizen builders.”
Built for Trust
Security, Governance & Future-Proofing
- Your data never leaves your cloud (we orchestrate—don’t store)
- All logic is code (YAML/SQL) → auditable, testable, CI/CD ready
- Granular RBAC – analysts design, engineers approve
- Open standards → works with your existing dbt, Snowflake, Airflow, etc.
- Self-host option for regulated industries (finance, healthcare)
“Finally, a tool that respects both agility and compliance.”
