In the fast-paced world of logistics, real-time vehicle tracking is more than just a convenience—it's a necessity. Schmitz Cargobull AG, Europe's leader in refrigerated vehicle manufacturing, recognized this need and embarked on a journey to revolutionize their vehicle tracking systems.
Efficiency at Its Core: Creating a Cloud-Based Data Lake
The challenge for Schmitz Cargobull AG was to centralize data from multiple databases into one accessible location. The solution? A cloud-based "data lake" powered by Microsoft Azure, which would serve as a centralized hub for tracking vehicle locations and conditions. Azure's scalability and flexibility were essential for accommodating the vast amounts of data generated by the fleet of vehicles.
Azure DevOps: Accelerating Time to Market
With the support of Azure DevOps, Schmitz Cargobull AG seamlessly orchestrated their cloud transformation.

They now have access to a user-friendly portal where they can monitor the location and condition of each vehicle in real time, regardless of the source of the data. This centralized solution eliminated the complexities of accessing data from various databases, resulting in an enhanced customer experience and improved operational efficiency.
