Quinnox Helped a Fragrance Giant Achieve 50% Faster Cost Rollups with a Modern, High-Performance Architecture

Qinfinite-Chaos-Engineering

Overview

A world-leading, privately-owned fragrance and flavor company was grappling with performance bottlenecks in its cost rollup system – a critical application responsible for automatically updating raw material prices from SAP. These inefficiencies were impacting business agility and user satisfaction. 

Business Need

The client needed urgent modernization due to: 

  • Long processing cycles: The cost rollup process took 12–15 hours to complete. 
  • Inefficient user experience: Business users couldn’t view updated cost components in real time, delaying decision-making. 
  • High maintenance load: Frequent breakdowns generated up to 30 L2 support tickets per day. 
  • Inaccurate cost data: Issues like null values and outdated figures were affecting quotation accuracy. 
  • Resource-heavy support: Resolving issues needed excessive manual intervention. 

The Quinnox Solution

Quinnox stepped in with an end-to-end transformation strategy, addressing both system architecture and user experience. 

Technology Modernization Highlights:

  • Spring Batch 4.1.x: Enabled parallel processing for faster execution. 
  • Java 8 APIs + Executor Framework: Delivered high-level concurrency to manage large data loads efficiently. 
  • Spring Boot 2.1.x: Supported rapid application development (RAD) with modular, scalable architecture. 
  • SonarQube Integration: Embedded code quality and security checks through continuous static analysis. 

Delivery Approach:

  • Adopted agile methodology for phased rollouts and faster feedback loops. 
  • Successfully transitioned the project to the client’s L2 team after stable deployment. 

Business Benefits Delivered

  • 50% faster cost rollup process. 
  • Processing time was reduced from 12–15 hours to just 4–7 hours. 
  • 90% drop in L2 support tickets, easing the burden on IT teams.
