Engineering Speed and Scalability

Driving 3X efficiency in Allegro BOL Integration with Performance Engineering

Performance Challenge

A mission-critical BOL integration system responsible for generating ~300 daily truck shipments in Allegro was operating far below optimal efficiency, consuming 120–150 minutes of processing time. This performance lag created a system-wide bottleneck, delaying end-of-day valuations, risk reporting, and time-sensitive morning deliverables.  The delays impaired real-time inventory visibility, exposure management, and scheduling accuracy, directly impacting trading decisions and P&L performance. With growing business velocity demands, the system’s inefficiencies had to be resolved to restore operational agility.

Strategic Approach to Project Success

To meet the growing operational demands and ensure seamless downstream processes, Value Creed engineered a performance-driven solution for the BOL integration system. By combining advanced performance engineering, scalable architecture, and deep Allegro expertise, the team transformed a time-intensive workflow into a high-efficiency operation. This strategic approach balanced rapid optimization with future-ready scalability, ensuring the system not only met immediate performance needs but also supported long-term business growth and agility.

Expertise on Demand

System Performance Review

Performed a comprehensive workflow investigation across data ingestion → validation → shipment creation, identifying long-running queries and inefficiencies in shipment creation logic. Established monitoring to baseline processing time and accurately pinpoint bottlenecks, delivering full visibility and a clear foundation for optimization.

Stabilization & Process Optimization

Segmented the integration process into four components — Integration Data Ingestion, Staging Table Input, Data Validation, and Shipment & Actual Creation. Streamlined dependencies across these steps to reduce delays and prevent cascading slowdowns, while ensuring the process design supported fault tolerance and modular execution. This delivered a simpler, more stable execution flow, allowing valuations to begin sooner after BOL runs.

Integrated Performance Engineering

Re-engineered the shipment creation code to dynamically process shipments via multi-threading in Allegro. Integrated the optimized logic seamlessly into the existing system with backward compatibility and zero operational disruption. Reduced data handling volumes per transaction to maximize throughput, achieving shipment creation speeds of ~2 seconds per shipment and reducing total processing time to 4–8 minutes.

Proactive & Predictive Optimization

Implemented automated monitoring to track shipment creation SLAs with real-time anomaly alerts. Embedded performance regression checks within release cycles to prevent similar issues in the future. Established a continuous improvement loop for integration workflows, ensuring scalable performance and delivering sustained efficiency with a 3X improvement, enabling timely valuations, risk reporting, and enhanced trading agility.
