PepsiCo – NoSQL Customer Case Study

About PepsiCo

As a global leader in convenience foods and beverages, PepsiCo maintains a complex distribution system to keep thousands of stores stocked at all times. To make sure their field reps can access the system from anywhere, even without an internet connection, PepsiCo partnered with Couchbase to architect an offline-available solution that’s 5G compatible. The solution automatically syncs data between devices and the cloud while providing high flexibility for developers and operations.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

30,000 users can now perform operations, including placing orders, merchandising stores, and managing sales in stores without disruption, even without an internet connection
Information is readily available to sales reps anywhere, and data is captured in the field on Couchbase’s embedded database and then auto synced with the server using Sync Gateway when there’s a reliable connection
Hundreds of thousands of documents are able to flow back and forth between the devices and the server

“We penetrate more than 95% of households with our products, so we need to have a robust supply chain as well as a good frontline sales application to be able to manage the orders and deliver products.”
