The Challenge

The client faced significant operational and technical challenges across both pricing operations and platform modernization.

 

Key challenges included:

  • Lengthy and inefficient upgrade cycles taking 6–12 months with limited business value
  • High risk of operational disruption across critical systems, including driver mobility and dispatch
  • Complex multi-environment landscape leading to duplication, inefficiency, and extended timelines
  • Parallel development during upgrades causing rework and instability
  • Large data volumes impacting upgrade performance and recovery
  • Mobile compatibility issues across different platform versions

Our Approach

AI-Powered Dynamic Pricing and Rating Engine
Developed a predictive pricing engine to automate freight rating and significantly reduce cycle time for pricing agreements, improving efficiency and accuracy.

Pega Upgrade Factory Model Implementation
Introduced a factory-driven upgrade model to standardize and accelerate upgrades across 15 enterprise-grade Pega applications.

Optimized Upgrade Strategy and Execution
Adopted a near-production clone upgrade approach, reducing dependency on multiple environments and accelerating production rollout timelines.

Architecture and Data Optimization
Implemented split-schema architecture, archival, and data purging strategies to enhance performance, resilience, and minimize downtime.

Automation and Governance Enablement
Leveraged rule-based comparison utilities, test optimization strategies, and continuous reporting to ensure consistency, transparency, and quality across upgrades.

Cloud-Ready Architecture Definition
Established a future-ready architecture aligned with containerized deployments on AWS and Azure, enabling seamless transition to a cloud-native ecosystem.
