A Fortune 500 paint & coatings retailer

Moved store-edge network services to AWS containers, enabling operational refresh across the POS fleet.

Challenge

Legacy edge hardware was costly to refresh store-by-store. The business wanted to migrate network services to the cloud while protecting the uptime of point-of-sale and preserving in-store partner integrations.

Approach

• Coordinated with third-party partners and teams to capture requirements.
• Led the AWS container-platform design to host previously on-edge functionality.
• Produced internal design documentation.
• Oversaw the Ohio pilot deployment end to end.

Outcome

A validated proof-of-concept on a live pilot site, opening the roadmap to retire edge hardware at scale.

Technology stack
