Cloud-Native ERP for Fortune 500 Logistics
Understanding the problem space and business context
Logistics industry requires real-time tracking, inventory management, route optimization, and seamless integration with carriers and warehouses.
Client was using a legacy on-premise ERP system that was expensive to maintain, slow, and couldn't scale to handle growing order volumes.
32 weeks from planning to full migration
10,000+ employees
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, Data residency requirements
Client chose Dotsea for our expertise in cloud-native architecture, Kubernetes, and experience with large-scale enterprise migrations.
How we solved the problem
We conducted a 4-week discovery phase analyzing the legacy system, business processes, integration points, and migration risks. Created detailed architecture and migration plan.
Built cloud-native microservices architecture on Kubernetes with event-driven communication, API gateway, and gradual migration strategy with parallel running systems.
Agile with 2-week sprints. Used feature flags for gradual rollout. Extensive testing in staging environment mirroring production.
Technical implementation and infrastructure
Cloud-native microservices architecture on Kubernetes with event-driven communication, API gateway, and multi-region deployment.
Server-side rendering for performance, great DX
Fast, scalable microservices with TypeScript
ACID compliance, complex queries, read replicas
Sub-millisecond latency for frequently accessed data
Event streaming for real-time updates
Container orchestration, auto-scaling, self-healing
Infrastructure as code for reproducible deployments
Managed Kubernetes, multi-AZ deployment
Timeline, milestones, and challenges overcome
32 weeks: 4 weeks discovery, 24 weeks development, 4 weeks migration
Architecture design, migration plan, and risk assessment completed
Order management, inventory, and tracking services deployed to staging
All carrier and warehouse integrations tested and validated
New system running in parallel with legacy for validation
Gradual rollout to all regions completed successfully
Full migration complete, legacy system shut down
Legacy system had undocumented business logic that was critical for operations
Conducted extensive interviews with business users, reverse-engineered logic from code, and created comprehensive test suites to validate behavior
Database migration of 10TB+ data with zero downtime requirement
Used AWS DMS for continuous replication, validated data integrity with checksums, and performed cutover during low-traffic window
Performance degradation during peak hours in initial rollout
Identified N+1 query issues, implemented database query optimization, added Redis caching layer, and increased pod replicas
Measurable outcomes and business value delivered
The new ERP system enabled the client to handle 3x more orders with the same operations team, reduce infrastructure costs by 80%, and improve customer satisfaction. The cloud-native architecture provides a foundation for future growth and innovation.
