Trace data’s lineage to classify and track it
Trail™ automatically builds a lineage for every piece of data and continuously updates it as new events happen to track data everywhere it goes.
We bring order to billions of events to calculate the lineage of every piece of data
As data moves throughout your company, from person to person and application to application, it fragments and gets combined with other data. We calculate the lineage for every piece of data starting with its origin through every step it takes.
Innovative graph technology
Data lineage isn’t possible with off-the-shelf graph databases. We developed a new kind of graph database technology that would make it possible to trace data across dozens or even hundreds of steps in its journey.

Data lineage reveals a lot about the data and its importance
We can infer a lot about a piece of data based on where it originated, how it was handled, and the people who added to it without ever looking at its content.
Where it originated
Whether it’s the customer database in Snowflake, the source code repository in Github, or the product design board in Figma, specific types of data start their journey in specific places.
How it was handled
Data moves in recognizable ways, passing through the board meeting site in SharePoint, the client documents folder in Google Drive, or the employee offer letter account in DocuSign.
Who added to it
Different employees produce different work, from researchers who develop drug formulas, to designers working on new products, to accountants who compile financial results.
