Background
A leading logistics company manages a vast network of services powered by Azure applications. These applications are crucial for their daily operations, including real-time shipment tracking, inventory management, and customer communication.
Challenge
The logistics company faced a significant challenge: frequent application downtime due to expired certificates and secrets in their Azure applications. These downtimes led to:
- Lost Revenue: Interruptions in service led to missed transactions and delivery delays.
- Reputation Damage: Customer trust and brand image suffered as services became unreliable.
- Security Risks: Expired certificates increased vulnerability to cyber threats.
- Operational Disruptions: Internal processes were hampered, affecting overall productivity.
In particular, their customer engagement rate dropped by 20% due to these interruptions, as clients became frustrated with the inconsistency and sought alternatives.
