Data-Driven Convenience Store Chain Surpasses 1000th Location; Partnered with Armeta for Over 10 Years to Transform Every Aspect of the Enterprise for Continued Growth
Data Transformed by the Numbers
Platforms & Systems
Overview
Over a 10-year partnership, Armeta has performed full data transformation across all aspects of the enterprise — store operations, merchandise planning, transactions management, revenue optimization, financial management, supply chain, fuel pricing systems (wholesale and retail), and transportation and logistics solutions.
In recent years, the company's legacy systems were becoming obsolete and no longer supported.
By migrating from on-premises, Microsoft APS systems to Azure Synapse, the company established a new Modern Cloud Data Architecture that will scale optimally with its continued growth.
Challenges
The company’s Microsoft APS systems were becoming obsolete and no longer supported. The on-premises architecture is also difficult and costly to scale as the company expands to new locations.
Solutions
Armeta migrated and replatformed operational data from multiple Microsoft APS on-prem databases to the Azure Synapse environment in 30 days. The new Synapse data cloud became the single source of truth for all data and reporting across all locations (1000 stores).
Armeta used its proprietary Cloud Migration Accelerator™ to move and replatform 25TB of data to Azure Synapse in a fraction of the time compared to our benchmark competitors.
Results
- 10X faster average query run time.
- 25% reduction in maintenance costs.
- Maintained system reliability — zero downtime, no disruption to business operations.
- Eliminated the need for on-prem databases to cloud-based source of data across all locations.
- Accelerated time to value operating in Microsoft Azure Synapse.
The company now has faster, better, and more accurate insights to drive its business in sales, marketing, finance/payment systems, accounting, store development, and IT.
With Armeta’s long-standing, integrated data and analytics partnership, the Company’s business has grown 12–15% over a 5-year period.
