The Challenge

The global leader in intralogistics software faced limitations with its traditional method of local software installations at customer sites. This approach required in-person maintenance, increased operational overhead, and made centralized control and software updates difficult. The lack of scalability and efficiency hindered both cost-effectiveness and the company’s ability to deliver timely improvements to its clients.

The Solution

66degrees designed and implemented a cloud-native deployment strategy using a modular architecture to enhance scalability and development agility. The client’s codebase was containerized and deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), enabling more efficient and centralized management. Advisory and implementation services helped set up and manage the Google Cloud Platform infrastructure, streamlining maintenance, updates, and overall software delivery. The result was reduced operational costs, faster deployment cycles, and a scalable solution that supported ongoing innovation and growth.

The Result

Ownership Empowerment: The client gained complete control and ownership of software, enhancing autonomy and flexibility.

Cost Reduction: Elimination of costly server overheads led to significant cost savings for the client.

Enhanced Agility: Cloud-native architecture enabled faster and smoother software updates.

Future-Proofing: Scalable architecture ensured adaptability and readiness for future technological advancements.
