Challenges
Multi-level access. The software contains an enormous amount of data, and access to this information has to be moderated.
Fast decision-making. The software was already on the market when we decided to update from SQS, which was used in the software previously, to Kafka. The software needed to be modernises quickly, as it already was widely distributed on the market.
Synchronisation. Dense volumes of data combined with quick and parallel data uploading made it complex to synchronise the development.
Solution
For Tico, our objective was to aid our customer in creation of the seamless platform with user-friendly AI, flexible infrastructure, and powerful data management.
To ensure that our customer’s data is secure, we had to implement level-based data access and enable the system’s users to add their own roles with access distribution.
We used Kafka, which is predominantly used for streaming platforms, as it is ideal for quickly changing and updating Tico in real-time.
These solutions among others enabled Tico to achieve a soaring number of over 3,6K stores registered in the platform.
