Building Real-time Retail & Supply Chain IoT Platforms with Confluent Cloud
The level of credibility that Confluent has built in terms of modern, scalable and flexible stream processing does much of our blocking and tackling for us.
Challenge
Provide retailers with a solution to improve inventory accuracy, enable operational intelligence and support omnichannel sales.
Solution
Use Confluent Cloud and Kafka to build a scalable, highly available platform for real-time data streaming and complex event processing both on-premises and in the cloud.
Results
- Inventory accuracy increased from 65% to 99%
- Expert training and support received
- Fault-tolerant, scalable architecture
- Focus on development sharpened
For many large retailers, there is a significant gap between the actual inventory in stores and warehouses and the digital records used to represent that inventory. Diminished inventory accuracy, which is often as low as 65%, makes it particularly difficult for retailers with a brick-and-mortar presence to pursue omnichannel strategies designed to improve the customer experience by enabling, for example, shoppers to order a product online and pick it up in the store. With its ViZixⓇ item chain management platform, Mojix is helping major retailers store, analyze and act on inventory data collected from IoT sensor streams in real time. Built using Confluent Cloud and Apache Kafka®, the ViZix platform supports real-time operational intelligence with complex event processing for a hybrid cloud across the edge – at retail stores and distribution centers – and the cloud.
