Industry Context - Developing a microservices platform with modernization

Industry Context

Business-to-business (B2B) commerce involves transactions between companies across the supply chain, including wholesalers and retailers. By streamlining operations, optimizing procurement and supply chain management, and implementing cost-effective strategies, B2B firms can enhance their efficiency and agility. In a competitive global business landscape, procurement and finance professionals can play a key role in their organization’s success by leveraging technology and data insights to improve financial management and achieve sustainable growth.

Client Challenge - Developing a microservices platform with modernization

Client Challenge

Our client, Corcentric, offers comprehensive advisory and managed services for source-to-pay, order-to-cash, and fleet management processes. Their software enables buyers and suppliers across the globe to optimize their working capital and create value. Since they were using multiple legacy applications, the client struggled with feature overlap. They needed to maintain functionality and fix issues without disrupting customers. To modernize their apps and prevent feature duplication, they aimed to develop a microservices-based platform.

Approach

Encora selected AWS as the platform of choice for this implementation, as it provided a robust and diverse set of services which could lay a solid foundation for the microservices-based platform the client needed. AWS also provided a scalable and reliable infrastructure stack to meet the client’s evolving needs.  

The services offered by Encora to Corcentric spanned: 

  • Product Development:  Focused on enhancing and rationalizing features within the modern tech stack. This included a thorough review and optimization of legacy code, leading to improved system performance and maintainability. We developed comprehensive documentation for new features, transitioning from a lack of documentation to detailed, actionable records, which improved overall project transparency and knowledge sharing.
  • Machine Learning & AI ModelsEngineered data solutions and developed AI models for enhanced operational efficiency and user interface support. 
  • Test Automation: Enhanced automation processes, upgraded regression suites, and conducted performance testing to ensure robust software reliability. Expanded test automation to increase coverage and efficiency, minimizing regression time. 
  • Code Synthesis, Refactoring & Documentation: Introduced prototype caching mechanisms to optimize document query efficiency and reduce dependency on GPT-4 API calls.
