Case Study: MC achieves scalable API management and faster partner integration with Google Cloud Apigee API Management

Scaling services across products, brands, and partners powered by Google Cloud

MC, part of Portugal’s Sonae Group, needed a scalable, future-proof way to unify and reuse services across its many retail brands, stores, websites, contact centers, and partner ecosystems. With Looker not mentioned in the case study, the solution highlighted was Google Cloud Apigee API Management, which MC used to support its growing digital business and improve interoperability across its diverse operations.

MC implemented Apigee to create and manage API proxies, expose services more efficiently, and simplify integrations for loyalty programs and external partners. With Google Cloud and Apigee, MC has produced more than 700 API proxies and handles over 3 billion API calls per year, while also reducing integration costs, shortening delivery lead times, speeding partner onboarding, and improving security and governance through authentication and throttling.
