Autone secures €2M funding and accelerates time-to-market with AWS SaaS platform

Industry: Retail

About

Autone is a SaaS operational platform that empowers retail and CPG businesses to make optimal decisions efficiently and with ease. Their platform leverages predictive analytics to optimise processes such as pricing, inventory, and replenishment.

Challenge

As a startup, Autone faced the challenge of building a robust SaaS platform from the ground up. They needed scalable cloud infrastructure, secure governance, and the ability to integrate predictive analytics to support retail and CPG operations.

They also required a partner to accelerate time to market, enabling them to demonstrate their product to investors while providing ongoing Managed Services for optimisation, governance, and technical support.

Solution

Firemind developed a scalable AWS cloud framework for Autone, following best practice architecture to ensure security, resilience, and cost efficiency. A tailored cloud roadmap aligned their business and technical goals, incorporating governance and optimisation throughout the build process.

Core AWS services were deployed, including API Gateway, Amazon CloudFront, AWS Amplify Hosting, and Amazon DynamoDB, enabling a production-ready environment capable of ingesting retailer data, supporting predictive analytics, and rapidly scaling to meet demand.
