1. Overview
A retail enterprise operating over 500 stores nationwide utilizes a centralized Point of Sale (POS) and inventory management system. To ensure seamless shopping experiences and data accuracy, the company required a 24/7 system monitoring and maintenance solution that minimizes downtime and prevents disruptions affecting revenue.
2. Challenges
With hundreds of branches, the company’s POS system faced recurring issues related to performance, network latency, and data synchronization between stores and the central server. Before partnering with BAP, incident tracking and resolution were mostly manual, leading to:
Slow incident response time, causing sales interruptions.
High operational costs due to the lack of centralized monitoring tools.
Difficulty maintaining data consistency and system security.
3. Solution
BAP’s System Operations & Maintenance engineers implemented a comprehensive monitoring solution featuring:
Automated 24/7 POS and server monitoring with real-time alerting tools.
Rapid incident response protocols for immediate issue detection and resolution.
DevOps pipeline implementation ensuring smooth and synchronized POS software updates.
Performance optimization through automated log analysis and load balancing across servers.
4. Technology Stack
Monitoring & Alerting: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch
Automation & Deployment: Jenkins, Terraform, Ansible
Cloud Infrastructure: AWS EC2, Kubernetes, S3
Security & Backup: AWS GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Snapshot Backup Automation
5. Results
