About the Project
The end client is one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world. The project delivers an IoT-based solution that gives the client real-time visibility and control over its supply chain, connecting production facilities, logistics partners, and suppliers across multiple regions.
The value of the solution lies in its ability to help the client adapt quickly to disruptions — from parts shortages and supplier delays to demand shifts — by turning fragmented supply chain data into actionable, real-time insight. This reduces downtime risk, improves planning accuracy, and makes the client's manufacturing operations more resilient at global scale.
As part of a system operating at this scale, the DevOps team is responsible for a reliable, secure, and observable cloud infrastructure that keeps the platform available and performant for a global automotive business.
