Why Data-Driven Teams Choose Heritage Sterling

Three capabilities that separate us from generic dashboard tools.

Real-Time Signal Detection

Our engine processes event streams in under 200 ms, surfacing anomalies and trend breaks before they affect your bottom line. No nightly batch runs, no stale reports โ€” just live intelligence delivered through a single API endpoint your developers will actually enjoy using.

Developer-First Integration

RESTful and GraphQL endpoints come fully documented with OpenAPI 3.1 specs, SDK libraries for TypeScript, Python, and Go, plus an interactive sandbox so your engineers can integrate in hours rather than weeks. We eat our own cooking โ€” our internal dashboard runs on the same public API.

EU-Grade Data Residency

All customer data is stored within EU data centres and processed in full compliance with GDPR. Our Irish legal entity means no cross-Atlantic data transfers, no Schrems II anxiety, and a straightforward DPA you can share with your own legal team on the same afternoon.

Built in Waterford, Trusted Across Europe

A small team with an outsized focus on data quality and API reliability.

Heritage Sterling was founded in Waterford in 2021 by engineers who had spent years frustrated by analytics platforms that promised insight but delivered noise. The platform reflects that frustration turned productive: every feature begins with a documented data contract, every release ships with benchmark regression tests, and every customer gets a named Slack channel for direct engineering access. Our sand-olive design language is more than aesthetic โ€” it signals the measured, considered approach we bring to data modelling. Where other startups chase vanity metrics, we track median query latency and data completeness scores, and we publish them on our public status page every hour.

โ€œWe integrated Heritage Sterling's event API in a single sprint in March 2024. Within six weeks our CX team had cut support escalations by nearly a third because they could finally see exactly where users were dropping off in the onboarding flow โ€” something our previous tool had never surfaced clearly.โ€

Common Questions

Straight answers before you commit to a trial.

Do I need to replace my existing data warehouse?

No. Heritage Sterling connects alongside your existing warehouse โ€” Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and Postgres are all supported via native connectors. We read from your sources and write enriched signals back to a schema of your choosing. Your existing BI tools see no disruption.

How long does a typical integration take?

Most teams are sending live events within two hours of signing up. Full production integration โ€” including backfilling historical data and configuring custom signal rules โ€” typically takes three to five working days with support from our engineering team on your dedicated Slack channel.

Is the platform suitable for non-technical teams?

The API is built for developers, but the web dashboard gives non-technical stakeholders a clean, filterable view of every metric Heritage Sterling tracks for them. Role-based access controls mean your data analysts, marketers, and executives each see exactly the view relevant to their work.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You can export all your data โ€” raw events, enriched signals, and configured rule sets โ€” in JSON or CSV format at any time from the dashboard. After account closure we retain data for 30 days in a recoverable state, then permanently delete it in accordance with our GDPR-compliant data retention policy.
