The challenge

Dispatchers were flying blind between carrier systems. Northwind needed one screen that showed every shipment and scaled to peak season without falling over.

Our approach

We designed an exception-first operations console backed by a streaming data pipeline, then hardened it for the holiday peak with load testing and graceful degradation built in from the start.

Outcomes

40k

shipments tracked daily

3x

faster exception response

99.98%

uptime through peak season

The platform paid for itself in the first quarter. We finally trust our own numbers.
