Key Challenge
The client needed to modernize a monolithic supply chain platform to support scalability, flexibility, and faster feature delivery without disrupting ongoing operations.
Key Result
Jalasoft enabled the transition to a microservices architecture, improving scalability, accelerating development cycles, and delivering a more stable and responsive platform.
Summary
Our Key Takeaways and What We Built Together
To tackle the complexities of microservices, Körber partnered with Jalasoft, which provided a specialized team from LatAm. Together, they built a scalable platform that reduced processing time by 30% and supported 10x more users. This collaboration empowered the company to deliver faster, more flexible supply chain solutions, setting a strong foundation for future growth.
The Jalasoft Internship program overall was a great experience. It took us a little time at the beginning to find the right rhythm, as the interns needed to attend training on the Jalasoft side before working with our team. The mentorship and support from the senior Jalasoft team members were excellent.

Transformative Outcomes for Körber’s Clients
Through this successful collaboration, Körber made true its vision of an agile, cloud-based supply chain platform that’s highly scalable, stable, and responsive to evolving market demands. Key advantages of this transition to a microservices architecture include:
Scalability and flexibility
Independent scaling of services enables the platform to handle growing demand in specific areas, such as inventory management and order processing, without affecting the rest of the system.
Enhanced agility and faster development cycles
Development teams can now work on and deploy services in parallel, allowing for rapid feature updates, quick bug fixes, and a swift response to user needs.
Streamlined maintenance and updates
With microservices operating independently, each service can be updated individually, reducing disruptions and simplifying the maintenance process.
Reliability and fault tolerance
Microservices improve fault isolation, ensuring that issues in one service are contained, which leads to a more resilient platform and higher uptime.
Seamless cloud integration
Compatibility with cloud-native technologies like containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) enables efficient resource use, automation, and seamless integration with cloud services.
Optimized resource management
Cloud-based microservices dynamically allocate resources, delivering performance and cost savings by using only what’s needed—ideal for handling fluctuating loads and complex processes.
