What was said
What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Onboarding call with Eline Bakker and data engineer Ruben Dekker. The Snowflake role request is the next blocker. First sources are helpdesk, disputes and volumes, with no user invitations until data has loaded.
What happened: Ruben owns the Snowflake role request, raised through the customer's IT request process. Eline will get a helpdesk service credential from the support lead.
Customer view: Eline described merchant success and risk as two worlds that cannot answer a merchant's story quickly. She prefers a few sources working properly to many half working.
Commercial: Only Ruben and Eline have access so far, with forty users licensed. Eline wants a first group from merchant success and two from risk, but not before data is loaded.
Watch: Compliance matters because the customer is supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank. Risk may want faster than nightly refresh later, but Eline would not promise that now.

Transcript
Laura PenhaligonHello, can you both hear me all right?
Eline BakkerYes, I hear you. Ruben is just joining, one moment.
Ruben DekkerHi, sorry. My headset was on the wrong output. Can you hear me now?- Laura PenhaligonLoud and clear. Good afternoon, both. Thanks for making the time, I know it's a busy week for you.
- Eline BakkerGood afternoon. Let's make it practical. First, last time's actions. I said I would send the list of merchant segments. I sent it on Monday. Did you get it?
- Laura PenhaligonI did, thank you, that was really useful. And mine was the access checklist for Ruben, which I sent over on Tuesday. Ruben, have you had a chance to look?
- Ruben DekkerYes, I went through it. Most of it is fine. The part about the role in Snowflake, I need to ask a colleague in IT, because we create roles through a request process.
- Laura PenhaligonRight, that's quite common. The brain runs inside your Snowflake account, so we need a role that can create a schema and read the source tables you choose. Nothing more than that.
- Ruben DekkerOkay. Read only on the sources, and write only on the schema for the brain.
- Laura PenhaligonExactly that. And no access to anything you don't point us at.
- Eline BakkerWho owns the next step on this? I want one name.
- Ruben DekkerMe. I raise the request today. I think it is quick, maybe a couple of days.
- Eline BakkerGood. Then it is Ruben.
- Laura PenhaligonLovely. Shall we talk about the sources? Eline, in the kickoff you said the point is that merchant success and merchant risk look at the same merchant together.
- Eline BakkerYes. Now it is two worlds. Merchant success sees the tickets and the relationship. Risk sees disputes and volumes. When a merchant grows fast, or when disputes go up, the two teams do not see the same picture. What is the merchant's story? Nobody can answer quickly.
- Laura PenhaligonThat's very clear. So for the first phase, I'd suggest we start with the ones that give you that story fastest. Your Growth plan covers eight connectors, so there's room, but I'd rather we get two or three working properly than eight half working.
- Eline BakkerAgreed. I do not like half working.
- Ruben DekkerWhich ones do you suggest first?
- Laura PenhaligonWell, tickets from the helpdesk, because that's the easiest and it shows value early. Then the dispute data. And then the volume data, which I think is the one you'll care about most, Ruben, since it probably sits in your own tables.
- Ruben DekkerYes. Volumes and disputes are in our warehouse already. The helpdesk is a separate system, so that needs credentials from the support team.
- Eline BakkerSupport is in my area. I can arrange that. I will ask the team lead for an API credential, not a personal login.
- Laura PenhaligonPerfect, a service credential is exactly right. One more thing, Ruben. You raised a ticket with us last week. I saw it was marked high priority.
- Ruben DekkerYes. That was the sign in. I could not get into the admin page, I thought something was wrong with my invitation. It was my mistake, I used the old link.
- Laura PenhaligonNo problem at all, that happens a lot. I've seen it's resolved, so you're in now?
- Ruben DekkerYes, I am in. Only me and Eline so far.
- Laura PenhaligonThat's about what I'd expect at this stage. You have forty users licensed, so nobody's short of room. The question is more who comes in and when.
- Eline BakkerI would like a first group from merchant success and two from risk. But not before the data is there. If people log in and see nothing, they do not come back.
- Laura PenhaligonCompletely agree. So, no invitations until the first two sources have loaded and you've looked at them yourselves. Does that work?
- Eline BakkerYes. And one more thing. The regulator. We are supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank. Anything with merchant data, I need to be able to explain where it lives.
- Laura PenhaligonSure. It lives in your Snowflake account, in a schema you control, and we work inside it. I can write that down in one page for your compliance colleagues if that helps.
- Eline BakkerYes please. One page, short.
- Laura PenhaligonShort it is. I'll send it by the end of the week.
- Ruben DekkerCan I ask something about refresh? When does the data update?
- Laura PenhaligonNightly. It's complete by 07:00 your time on business days. So when Eline opens it in the morning, it's yesterday's picture.
- Ruben DekkerOkay, that is fine for merchant success. Risk may want faster later, but we start there.
- Eline BakkerLet's not promise later things now. Start with what we have.
- Laura PenhaligonFair. So, let me recap. Ruben raises the role request today. Eline gets the helpdesk credential from the support lead. I send the one page for compliance by the end of the week, and I'll set up the schema the moment the role exists. Then we meet again next week and look at the first load together.
- Eline BakkerYes. That is the list. I will check it at the start of the next call.
- Laura PenhaligonI'd expect nothing less. Thanks, both.
- Ruben DekkerThanks. Speak soon.
- Eline BakkerGroetjes, Eline. Bye.
