Trifacta is company in the data wrangling space, which is another way of saying that the company takes raw data that is pulled in from a multitude of sources and cleans it up, turning it into something actionable.
Here's how the company describes what it does on its homepage:
"Wrangling data is the most time-consuming and inefficient part of any data project – taking up over 80% of the time and resources.
