All Technologies Used
Motivation
The client required a full-scale modernization of their legacy warehouse management system, which could no longer meet current reliability and performance standards under high load. Azati’s goal was to rebuild the platform with a modern architecture focused on fault tolerance, scalability, and ease of operation to ensure the stability of warehouse processes across the retailer’s vast infrastructure.
Main Challenges
The legacy system could not handle increased workloads, resulting in performance degradation. Azati proposed a microservices-based architecture that enabled fault tolerance, faster data processing, and horizontal scalability, which stabilized the system during intensive operational loads.
System settings and background tasks, such as inventory recalculation and order processing, had to be processed efficiently without affecting primary operations. Azati developed dedicated microservices to manage configurations and async operations, improving performance and simplifying control of long-running processes.
Printing labels, reports, and other warehouse documents frequently caused errors and slowdowns in the legacy system. Azati built a robust printing service that automated and streamlined the handling of various document formats and templates, increasing document management efficiency.
Key Features
- Configuration Management Service: Centralized repository for managing system-wide configuration rules.
- Asynchronous Task Service: Handles background processes such as stock recalculations, order handling, and event-based notifications.
- Printing Support Service: Automates the creation and printing of warehouse documents and labels using customizable templates.
- Scalable Microservices Core: Modular components that can be deployed, scaled, and maintained independently for improved reliability and performance.
Our Approach
Project Impact
The project is being rolled out in phases, and the new system already demonstrates significant improvements. The platform now handles warehouse operations faster, is more resilient due to service independence, and can easily scale with evolving business needs. Technical support is simplified, enabling rapid updates and issue resolution. Future plans include deeper integration with external services and extending system functionality to meet expanding business requirements.
