PT Indomarco Prismatama (Indomaret)

Indomaret, a franchised retail chain in Indonesia, has more than 20,000 branches spread across the country. As the first and largest minimarket franchise company in Indonesia, Indomaret requires a high-performance database to manage its operations efficiently. With the high demand for the use of RDBMS, Indomaret planned to migrate its Oracle database to PostgreSQL.

Equnix was commissioned to convert all Oracle database modules to PostgreSQL on October 13, 2021. This included 1103 procedures, 200 functions, 902 triggers, and 15 Java extensions, with a total of 1,173,206 lines of code across all modules. One of the challenges faced during the project was converting complex modules and rebuilding the Java code into an extension that could run on PostgreSQL.

However, despite the challenges, Equnix successfully converted all modules on November 8, 2022. After going through two rehearsal stages, the new system was deployed into production on November 30, 2022. By migrating to PostgreSQL, PT Indomarco Prismatama was able to reduce costs while maintaining high performance. The migration project can be considered a success in every stage of its implementation. Equnix's commitment to teamwork was a significant factor in the project's success.

PT Akur Pratama (Yogya)

Yogya Group initially used the TPLinux POS application which is the equivalent of the Wincor/Nixdorf machine. Currently, TPLinux is entering its end of life period which requires Wincor/Nixdorf POS system users to upgrade to a newer system, namely: TP.Net. After going through various considerations, the Yogya Group finally decided to use equpos as the best solution. equpos does not depend on a particular machine and can accommodate EOD (End of Day) reporting quickly (<1 minute) while TPLinux takes 30 minutes.Equpos also provides several features not found in TPLinux, including Automatic Device, Price Overwrite, price changes on the dashboard, and automatic drawers. The Automatic Device feature automatically detects devices connected to the POS machine. Furthermore, Price Overwrite on equpos allows for adjustments to prices and discounts under specific circumstances, while TPLinux only permits price changes. Upon completion of a transaction, the drawer opens automatically, and the printer immediately produces the receipt.

equpos' features have proven to be highly beneficial for Yogya Group, as they enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness in retail. Since implementing equpos, Yogya Group has experienced enhanced convenience, comfort, and flexibility, resulting in heightened customer satisfaction. Equpos can accommodate Yogya's business requirements, such as promotions and marketing strategies, as evidenced by the implementation of 33 different promotions. By using equpos, Yogya Group can save a lot of costs that must be spent on upgrading to TP.Net which requires replacing new hardware in more than 1,500 POS terminals across 12 stores. In the future, Yogya Group plans to deploy equpos in all Yogya and Yomart stores to optimize customer service

To achieve this, a comprehensive assessment of the system was necessary to identify areas for improvement and optimize future maintenance.

In December 2022, Equnix conducted an assessment of the entire existing system at KCI, from data entry through the gate to the central database (SOTC). The assessment revealed opportunities to increase efficiency in the current system, including data structure and topology. The assessment also identified problems such as a lack of archiving and housekeeping, issues with floating money data, and database corruption.

Based on these findings, Equnix proposed a solution with several stages to improve the system's performance and efficiency. The proposed improvements were prioritized to address critical issues and optimize the E-Ticketing system's operation. With the implementation of these improvements, KCI will be able to maintain its electronic ticketing system based on electronic money cards and continue to provide reliable and efficient transportation services to its passengers.
