Knight-SwiftKnight-Swift Extends QueryGrid Across Real-time Operations
Knight-Swift, an industrials organization in the United States, uses QueryGrid from Teradata to support real-time operations for platform engineers.
QueryGrid sits in the daily path at Knight-Swift, especially for platform engineers.
“Inside Knight-Swift, real-time operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file.”
“Platform engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Real-time operations stays visible to adjacent teams through QueryGrid |
| Capability | Platform engineers work from the same QueryGrid record for event streams |
| Capability | Event streams can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
Inside Knight-Swift, real-time operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of the United States. Platform engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Knight-Swift uses QueryGrid from Teradata as the working layer for event streams. Teradata provides a connected multi-cloud data platform for large-scale analytics and mixed workload warehousing. The practical change is simple: real-time operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Knight-Swift gets from Teradata is a durable place to run real-time operations and a way for platform engineers to see the same event streams at the same time.
