Client

A leader in retail sales of stylish and affordable eyewear, with over 180 locations and aggressive expansion plans.

Ambition

To migrate their mission-critical, on-premise Point-of-Sale (PoS) application to a modern, reliable, and highly scalable cloud platform to power their rapid expansion.

Outcome

Architected and migrated their entire PoS application to a highly available, auto-scaling cloud infrastructure, which eliminated performance issues, saved millions in capital expenditure, and seamlessly supported their national growth.

The Ambition

A leader in retail sales of stylish and affordable eyewear, with over 180 locations and aggressive expansion plans.

The Challenge

Their on-premise PoS infrastructure could not keep up. It was unable to scale on demand, leading to poor performance and a negative customer experience during peak hours. The significant capital expenditure required to build an on-premise infrastructure that could handle their projected peak load was prohibitive and risky, as they lacked the analytics to accurately forecast their needs.

The Architectural Blueprint

The client's ambition was aggressive national growth, pushing into new 2-tier and 3-tier cities. To achieve this, they needed their most critical application—their PoS system—to be a growth enabler, not a bottleneck. A fast, reliable, and scalable PoS platform was essential for a superior customer experience and seamless branch expansion.

Ambition, Realized

The move to the cloud had a transformative impact. Application delays and performance hits became a thing of the past, ensuring happy customers. The need to constantly upgrade on-premise hardware was eliminated, resulting in significant capex savings running into millions of rupees. Most importantly, branch expansion became seamless, as the infrastructure bottlenecks were completely removed. The new platform gave them the confidence to forge ahead with their ambitious growth plans.
