Case Study: Wehkamp.nl cuts scheduler update time by over 50% and achieves 99.9% on-time jobs with Automic Dollar Universe

Automic automates service delivery for wehkamp.nl

wehkamp.nl, the Netherlands’ leading online retailer processing about 45,000 orders a day, relied on a complex IT landscape of seven back‑office domains and legacy COBOL/Oracle applications. Its Oracle‑centric scheduler was inflexible, required manual scripting and external consultants for changes, and struggled to support cross‑platform needs, file transfers and event‑driven workflows.

wehkamp.nl consolidated to Automic Dollar Universe to orchestrate batch processing across all domains, using a conversion utility to move 13 years of jobs in under six months and Business Views to improve operational visibility. The new platform cut scheduler update time by more than 50%, delivered over 99.9% on‑time job completion, streamlined partner file transfers and BI reporting, and improved overall customer service levels.
