Case Study: PUMA achieves pauseless, scalable supply-chain performance with Azul Systems' Platform Prime

Puma Improves Operations with Azul

PUMA, a global retail and eCommerce company, was struggling with severe performance problems in its Product Information Database (PID) and Global Business System (GBS). Large batch updates triggered “stop-the-world” Java garbage-collection pauses that caused long order processing delays and slowdowns across ERP, online store, warehousing, and manufacturing systems. PUMA turned to Azul (Azul Platform Prime) to resolve its Java performance and scalability issues.

Azul implemented Azul Platform Prime across PUMA’s supply chain, product information and J2EE headquarters applications, delivering pauseless operation and predictable, faster response times with no code changes. The solution eliminated garbage-collection pauses, improved scalability, lowered capital costs and total cost of ownership, and gave PUMA the flexibility to add innovative web features and expand operations.
