  • Scope of work by Edge One Solutions

    Edge One Solutions supported Circle K by providing IT specialists responsible for developing an event-based notification service.

  • Solution

    As part of the project, a notification service was developed to integrate with both client systems and notification providers.

    Client systems provided information about subscriptions and recipients, while notification providers were responsible for detecting events that users wanted to be informed about.

    The service passes information about existing subscriptions and distributes notifications about detected events to the appropriate subscribers, supporting efficient communication in a high-event-volume environment.

  • Project significance for retail and event-driven architecture

    In large retail organizations, business events can come from many systems, sales channels, and customer touchpoints.

    The Circle K project shows how event-driven architecture can support efficient information processing, integration of multiple data sources, and automated notification distribution.

    For companies operating in an omnichannel model, a similar approach can increase communication flexibility, improve service scalability, and make it easier to respond to a growing number of events across the IT ecosystem.
