Case Study: Arcese achieves real-time logistics data and faster forecasting with Confluent

Arcese achieves 50x faster data movement with Confluent

Arcese, an Italian logistics company, sought to differentiate itself in a competitive, low-margin market by offering customers better real-time reporting and lower latency for tracking shipments. Their legacy infrastructure caused an unacceptable lag, taking nearly an hour to process data. To address this, Arcese partnered with Confluent to build a new cloud-based transportation management system using Confluent Cloud.

By implementing Confluent's fully managed data streaming platform, Arcese achieved a 50x improvement in data processing speed, reducing the time for track-and-trace data to move through its pipeline from 45-50 minutes to less than one minute. This provides real-time insights for customers and helps avoid steep penalties. The solution also enables accurate forecasting, freed the IT team to focus on innovation, and created operational cost savings, positioning Arcese as a transportation company with a digital heart.
