Case Study: Wumart Stores, Inc. achieves 8x faster online order processing, 15x faster insights, and US$100,000 annual IT savings with Oracle Exadata (Oracle)

Wumart Stores Processes Online Orders 8x Faster, Gains Insight 15x Faster, and Reduces IT Operating Costs by US$100,000 Annually

Wumart Stores, Inc., one of China’s largest supermarket chains with 800 stores and a 35% market share, expanded into fresh-food e‑commerce through a partnership with Dmall to serve millions of online customers and handle 100,000+ daily orders. To support that growth it needed faster SAP ERP performance to process time‑sensitive orders, better customer insight for promotions and assortment, and a consolidation of legacy IBM servers and databases to simplify maintenance and reduce total cost of ownership.

Wumart migrated 92% of its IBM servers and four Oracle databases onto a single Oracle Exadata Database Machine, completing the project in three months with minimal downtime. The platform delivered an 8x faster order-processing rate, 62% improvement in SAP response time, 15x faster business-insight reporting, more than US$100,000 annual IT operating cost savings, faster 8 TB database migration, and improved availability and logistics through Oracle RAC and Exadata’s high-speed storage and networking.
