"Segment is an infrastructure-type tool that can be hard to demo without having other components present. Wilco's quest builder makes it easy to have those components preconfigured so that the prospective customer can jump right into the learning rather than spending a lot of time fiddling with environmental quirks. Wilco was a great fit for us at Segment because it neatly wraps the whole developer experience.”
