Background

02

Seeking strategies to link the product information of convenience stores nationwide in real-time

LAST ORDER was preparing to partner with convenience stores to expand the scope of service provision. Their plan was to have convenience stores register products that are about to expire in the LAST ORDER application and create a system that allows consumers to pay and receive them in stores. As a result of thinking about how to link product information of 10,000 convenience store stores nationwide in real-time for that matter, they decided to use AWS Direct Connect, which can provide high transmission quality, security, and stability even when transferring data frequently.

What did KINX do?

03

AWS Direct Connect specialized consultation and service support

KINX, Korea’s first G and M class partner with AWS Direct Connect, suggested the optimal connection plan that meets the needs of the LAST ORDER based on many years of know-how. First, consultation for network configuration was conducted for on-premises resources of affiliated convenience stores and LAST ORDER to be connected with AWS VPC. Configurations for the on-premises network and AWS Direct Connect network were also supported through low-speed lines. KINX helped make it easier to use AWS Direct Connect by providing services such as physical router lease and BGP configuration support.
