Case Study: Damco transforms supply chain visibility with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Services

Logistics firm enables big data and analytics to transform supply chain management

Damco, a leading global logistics firm, sought to digitally transform its operations to provide its clients with greater visibility into their supply chains and the ability to proactively respond to disruptions. Their challenge was to replace inefficient on-premises systems and legacy applications to better predict and manage issues like weather delays or shipping problems, thereby minimizing business impact for their clients. To address this, they partnered with Microsoft and leveraged the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.

The solution, developed with Microsoft Services, involved creating two key applications powered by Azure services, including Azure Data Lake and Azure Stream Analytics. These apps provide advanced data analytics to predict supply chain disruptions and manage complex financial calculations. For Damco, Microsoft's solution dramatically reduced development time for new tools from months to just weeks, provided clients with real-time actionable insights, and generated significant excitement among both clients and employees, setting the company apart from its competitors.
