Case Study: C&S Wholesale Grocers achieves real-time, always-on warehouse efficiency with DataStax Enterprise

C&S Wholesale Achieving Seamless Supply Chain Mastery with DataStax Enterprise

C&S Wholesale Grocers, the largest wholesale grocery supplier in the U.S., serves 14,000 retailers from more than 50 locations and operates over 18 million square feet of warehouse space across 15 states. As the company scaled, its warehouse data became siloed and disjointed, slowing distribution and impeding innovation; C&S needed a real-time, mobile-enabled solution that could consolidate disparate data, support interactive read/write workflows, and deliver always-on reliability for 24/7 operations.

C&S selected DataStax Enterprise (built on Apache Cassandra) for its ability to stream and consolidate rapidly changing data and to integrate with existing tech (WSO2, Wildfly, Kony). The platform delivers real-time visibility across operations, reads and writes thousands of transactions per second per node, supports 300+ users, processes ~280,000 records in five minutes, and will be rolled out to 45+ warehouses—driving projected multi‑million dollar ROI over five years.
