Intermountain Express, a logistics provider serving seven states, built its reputation on reliable, real-time information. As the company grew, their existing data platform, Domo, became a constraint; costs had escalated to nearly $40,000 annually, making essential features less accessible. They were struggling with slower decision-making, less operational agility, and increased pressure on teams to deliver accurate answers to customers.

Intermountain’s dilemma highlights a common challenge for growing organizations: legacy systems that once enabled success eventually hinder progress. The were at a crossroads and knew that in order to maintain service standards and support future growth, they needed a new approach.

Selecting a Partner for Change

The search for a new solution was driven by the need for cost control, reliability, and scalability. JourneyTeam set itself apart not just through technical expertise, but for our willingness to listen, collaborate, and design a solution that fit Intermountain’s unique needs. We didn’t just offer a product; we offered partnership, transparency, and a roadmap for the future.

JourneyTeam proposed a tailored migration to Microsoft Azure, designed to fit Intermountain’s operational model and budget. As Intermountain’s Finance Manager, Lexton Droubay, said: “We’d heard the pitch before: ‘we can do it cheaper,’ but JourneyTeam backed it up with transparency and expertise. They didn’t just sell us a product; they showed us how to build something that would last.”

Modernizing Data for Real Results

JourneyTeam’s solution centered on a cloud-based data warehouse using Azure SQL Database, with automated data flows and Power BI for reporting. Data now refreshes every 15 minutes, giving teams up-to-date visibility into shipments and operations. The migration reduced annual data platform costs by approximately 80%, freeing up resources for other priorities.

“JourneyTeam didn’t just give us a new tool – they built a platform that works the way we work. With Azure and Power BI, we can see where every package is, track performance, and make decisions in real time. It’s changed how we run our business,” Droubay said.

The Ripple Effect: Sustainable Growth

With the new Azure-based platform in place, Intermountain Express is positioned for future expansion. The architecture supports integration with additional tools like ERP or financial systems without requiring a complete overhaul.

The flexibility is allowing Intermountain to adapt as business needs evolve, minimizing disruption and maximizing return on investment. The company is now confident they have a platform that will grow with them, and just as importantly, that JourneyTeam will be there when they need support.
