    Unified Data Platform Modernization for Multi-Region Vending Operations

    Client: Multi-tenant vending operations platform

    Problem

    A multi-tenant vending operations platform operating across the US, UK, Canada, and Mexico, faced fragmented cloud infrastructure distributed across AWS and Azure. The multi-cloud environment created governance gaps, increased cloud operating costs, and introduced challenges in supporting cross-region analytics and operational reporting.

    Solution

    Simform modernized the client's data platform by migrating AWS workloads to Azure and implementing a centralized Microsoft Fabric lakehouse. The solution consolidated approximately 400–500 GB of structured, file-based, and near real-time data from Amazon S3 and Amazon Aurora, standardized integration and deployment patterns using Azure Data Factory (ADF), containerized application services for greater resilience, and enabled centralized reporting through Power BI.

    Real-Time Data Pipeline Transformation for Last-Mile Logistics

    Client: Major US Logistics Company

    Problem

    Logistics Company relied on a legacy batch-processing system that could not support real-time operational decision-making, business expansion, or increasing transaction volumes. The organization required a scalable data platform capable of processing continuously generated operational data.

    Solution

    Simform replaced the legacy batch-processing environment with an event-driven, real-time data platform built using Google Cloud Functions and BigQuery. The implementation introduced continuous data ingestion, partitioned tables for query optimization, automated data validation, lineage tracking, end-to-end encryption, and real-time Tableau dashboards to support operational analytics.

    Business Impact
    ~50%
    Reporting Delay Reduction
    Reduced reporting delays by approximately 50% through real-time data processing.
