How Freight Forwarding Has Changed Over Time?

A global mobility leader transformed their data management approach by migrating to the cloud. 

 

By implementing Snowflake as their new cloud data warehouse, they achieved better performance, scalability, and securitywhile reducing costs and management complexity.

About the Client

The client is a renowned global manufacturer specializing in motorcycles, boats, and electric products. Their innovative approach combines cutting-edge technology with sleek, aesthetically appealing designs, solidifying their reputation as a leader in the mobility sector.

 

 Beyond manufacturing, they offer competitive financial services such as finance cards, installment plans, and protection packages to a worldwide customer base. 

 

These services are designed to make their products more accessible and affordable, delivering value to customers at every stage of their journey.

 

By blending technological innovation with customer-centric financial services, the client has established itself as a forward-thinking organization that prioritizes performance, design, and accessibility. 

 

As their business grows, so does the complexity of managing the data generated across their multifaceted operations.

Client’s Challenge

With a vast customer base and complex operations, the client faced challenges managing extensive datasets in their Oracle environment. 

 

Their growing reliance on data-driven insights underscored the need for a scalable, agile, and accessible infrastructure. 

 

However, concerns about the complexity and security of cloud migration left their team hesitant to make the leap.

 

Rather than adopting an entirely new system, they requested a solution that would modernize their existing environment while preserving data integrity and minimizing operational disruption.

The Solution

After careful evaluation, Snowflake emerged as the ideal solution. Its centralized, low-maintenance platform offered the performance and scalability they needed, alongside robust security features.
