Introduction
SavATree, a premier provider of professional tree, shrub, and lawn care services, has built a reputation for excellence and environmental sustainability. Under the guidance of Ryan Nicholas, Director of Business Intelligence, SavATree leveraged Push.ai to scale their data usage across a large national organization, enhancing data accessibility and driving business value at every level.
Company Background
SavATree, founded in 1978, has grown into a leading provider of comprehensive tree and lawn care services. With a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, SavATree offers a range of services including tree pruning, disease treatment, organic care, and landscape consulting. Their operations span numerous states across the U.S., serving residential, commercial, and municipal clients.
Challenges
SavATree faced several challenges prior to implementing Push.ai:
- Difficulty in scaling data usage across a national organization.
- Limited ability to provide custom, personalized insights to various management levels.
- The need for the C-Suite to have a clear, actionable view of key metrics to address performance gaps.
These challenges impeded SavATree’s ability to leverage data effectively for decision-making and operational optimization.
Solution
SavATree discovered Push.ai as the solution to these challenges. Ryan Nicholas, Director of Business Intelligence, led the initiative to integrate Push.ai into their data infrastructure, focusing on providing tailored insights and improving data accessibility across the organization.
Key Results
1. Scaling Data Usage: Push.ai was used to scale data usage across SavATree’s extensive network. This enabled branch managers, district managers, and regional vice presidents to access insights relevant to their specific areas of responsibility. Ryan notes, “We have been able to uncover insights at speeds that would have traditionally required a large team and hours of SQL queries and dashboard analyses.”
2. Personalized Insights: Push.ai’s capabilities allowed for the creation of personalized insights for various levels of management. This ensured that each manager received the data they needed to drive performance improvements in their respective areas. Ryan highlights that Push.ai enables the team to “focus on uncovering and answering the right questions, rather than getting lost in the data.”
3. Executive Views for the C-Suite: Push.ai provided the C-Suite with a comprehensive view of key metrics. This enabled the executives to identify performance gaps and take targeted actions to improve the company’s bottom line. Ryan emphasizes, “This transformation has turned the traditional method of sifting through dashboards to find critical insights into a more streamlined and efficient process.”
Implementation
Push.ai acts as an extension of our data team, performing tasks that would typically require a large number of analysts
When Ryan Nicholas joined SavATree, he aimed to build a robust data culture. Previously, SavATree only had a few dashboards built by a consultant to visualize some of their data in Tableau. Ryan envisioned a more comprehensive data strategy. He sought to rebuild the data stack, promoting best practices and developing a cohesive AI strategy. A significant component of this strategy was integrating Push.ai to make AI accessible to the entire organization, delivering tailored analyses to every level of his organization.
Despite being a single-person data team, Ryan successfully scaled his analytical systems to serve hundreds of employees. He leveraged Push.ai to provide personalized analysis, built on natively on the infrastructure he implemented using Snowflake and dbt Cloud. “Push.ai acts as an extension of our data team, performing tasks that would typically require a large number of analysts,” Ryan explains. This integration allowed Ryan to uncover insights at unprecedented speeds, enabling the team to focus on high-value tasks rather than getting bogged down by manual data processing.
Business Outcomes
Push.ai allows us to leverage data more effectively, ensuring that we stay ahead in our industry
The integration of Push.ai led to several significant business outcomes for SavATree:
- Enhanced Data Accessibility: By scaling data usage across the organization, Push.ai ensured that all levels of management had access to relevant insights. This democratization of data facilitated better decision-making and operational efficiency.
- Improved Performance Management: Personalized insights helped managers at various levels understand their performance metrics and take proactive measures to drive improvements. This resulted in more effective management and - better overall performance.

Employees became more engaged with data, leading to a more proactive and informed approach to managing operations. “Push.ai allows us to leverage data more effectively, ensuring that we stay ahead in our industry,” Ryan states.
Through Push.ai, SavATree successfully enhanced its data capabilities, driving significant improvements in performance management and strategic decision-making. This partnership empowered SavATree to maintain its competitive edge and continue delivering exceptional service to its clients.
