Case Study: Discount Tire achieves a seamless SAP Commerce upgrade with Avatria

Discount Tire upgrades SAP Commerce to 6.7 with Avatria and sees zero interruption

Discount Tire, a national tire and wheel retailer, faced the challenge of modernizing its SAP Commerce instance from version 5.5 to leverage new capabilities. The upgrade needed to be completed without interrupting its numerous other ongoing critical business initiatives. Vendor Avatria was tasked with this upgrade to help the client utilize enhanced features like the SOLR and a new promotion engine.

Avatria implemented a parallel process, allowing the upgrade work to occur in tandem with new development. Their team focused on a step-by-step modernization plan, making the existing code compile with the latest version and migrating features individually. This strategy resulted in zero interruption to Discount Tire's normal business operations. Avatria's knowledge helped the client successfully upgrade through 11 release versions, including an unplanned move to the latest version, with minimal disruption.
