Case study

The challenge

Our client is one of the largest omnichannel retailers in North America. With a rapidly growing digital marketplace, the company needed to modernize its legacy applications to adapt to market trends and reduce its mainframe cost (estimated in millions of dollars). In addition, the retailer wanted to establish a common order management platform based on cloud-native architecture and microservices, drive new growth and partnerships, and boost its annual digital sales with more consistent customer experiences.

Our approach

Cognizant was chosen as the preferred partner due to our in-depth domain knowledge and unique solution with end-to-end ownership. We helped the retailer develop a custom order management system (OMS) using microservices and Google Cloud Platform, we used an agile methodology to enable faster and phased delivery of the solution. Our client named this custom OMS solution Unified Order Platform (UOP). UOP includes diverse order fulfillment capabilities, fraud validation, invoice generation, streamlined returns, exchange processes, and third-party delivery services integration.
