Retail Enablement

One of the big three wireless telecoms- teamed up with Pelotech to optimize their internal development processes and accelerate their move into new markets. With over 75,000 retail locations and nationwide cellular services, Client needed a solution that would enable them to quickly roll out new offerings while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

Client was sitting on some rich location-based datasets. They were looking to use cell tower data to determine new retail markets. More specifically they needed actionable data visualization to inform strategic sales/marketing decisions.

Using AWS, Pelotech’s team of cloud experts delivered a comprehensive, structured data storage and access solution that included a full GitOps deployment model using Gitlab, Amazon EKS, and Amazon RDS. To facilitate data migration, Pelotech developed an automated data-migration CLI application and integrated it with Amazon Redshift, Amazon EC2, and Amazon EKS. Finally, to allow for flexible and actionable data visualization, Pelotech implemented a fully integrated API/DB/Admin-UI application, leveraging NextJS, TypeORM, and React-Admin.

With Pelotech’s guidance, Client was able to activate their data to make strategic sales/marketing decisions and capture an entirely new revenue stream.

A leading brick and mortar video game retailer with over 4,573 stores worldwide.

The largest video game retailer in the world, a traditional brick and mortar organization, had a clumsy mobile app with technical limitations that were limiting sales volume and ultimately revenue growth. Client needed to enhance their e-commerce mobile application to boost online retail sales.

With Pelotech’s expertise, the mobile API and app quickly became a significant channel in Client’s overall retail sales, driving increased online sales and revenue growth.

To meet this challenge, Pelotech re-architected and migrated their mobile sales channel using AWS and the Java Spring Boot framework. The modernized API was deployed on an AWS EKS cluster and integrated with various improvements including secrets management with SOPS, Telepresence for improved developer experience, and improved configuration management using ConfigMaps as a replacement for Spring Cloud Config server. Pelotech also provided consulting on best practices for autoscaling nodes.

Pelotech implemented best-practice DevOps and customer experience for this initiative. Upon project completion, Pelotech orchestrated a hand-off to the internal team. Pelotech trained the internal team to take ownership and maintain project momentum through a newly established engineering culture.

A leading American online retailer of prescription glasses, contact lenses, and sunglasses, headquartered in New York City. Originally founded as an online retailer, Client now operates approximately 160 brick and mortar retail locations across the U.S. and Canada.

Client’s legacy e-commerce platform lacked flexibility to easily create new product galleries beyond men's and women’s. Using AWS, Pelotech created a solution allowing the marketing team to launch more dynamic and diverse galleries (sales, seasonal, new offerings etc.) without waiting for IT’s time intensive deployment process.

Pelotech provided a custom solution by developing a new API backed by Amazon DynamoDB to create and manage product galleries. Amazon DynamoDB proved to be the perfect solution for this problem due to its high performance and data model flexibility.

Pelotech’s solution allowed internal marketing teams to create and manage product galleries in a self-serve fashion without requiring engineering assistance.

A creator and wholesaler of VR software, hardware, and integrated solutions.

QI had the hardware, but wanted the increased revenue of selling VR content on their hardware. However, they didn’t have an effective way to author/update new content. Using AWS, Pelotech implemented a full content creation application allowing a jump into the software market unlocking a lucrative revenue stream.

With Pelotech’s expertise, Client was able to rapidly get their VR product offering to market, while removing all friction for their own development teams. Their teams were empowered to hit the ground running, assuming ownership of the product and software delivery process.

Pelotech implemented a full infrastructure as code style deployment on AWS and instituted a development workflow/pipeline for the internal team. This newly minted process enabled rapid development of an API allowing the new VR product to access user metadata and training content.

The content delivery system was deployed as a container in Amazon ECS. Static content was stored in Amazon S3, and application state was maintained in an Amazon PGSQL RDS database. At the end of the engagement, Client’s internal dev teams were coached to seamlessly pick up maintenance and development of the software API.
