Case Study: Whitebox Retail Logistics achieves rapid market rollouts, near-real-time inventory, and automated notifications with Amazon SES

Whitebox Retail Logistics - Customer Case Study

Whitebox Retail Logistics, a Singapore-based fulfillment provider for SMB retail and e‑commerce customers, faced slow, inflexible infrastructure that delayed application rollouts, lengthened development cycles, and caused inventory downloads of up to 30 seconds—undermining its near‑real‑time inventory goals. To support SAP Business One, an Oracle warehouse‑management system, and rapid expansion into new markets, the company engaged Cloud Comrade and adopted AWS services, including Amazon SES for automated customer email notifications.

Cloud Comrade migrated Whitebox’s workloads to an AWS architecture (Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3) and integrated Amazon SES for notifications, enabling rapid, consistent environment provisioning. As a result Whitebox cut infrastructure costs by more than 30%, reduced development cycles from five weeks to under five days, sped inventory downloads to under five seconds, achieved availability approaching 99.999%, and can now replicate its real‑time inventory system to new markets in less than two weeks—while using Amazon SES to streamline external communications.
