Logistics, Post & Parcel

Your sorting and tracking systems run on Kafka. Replication won't save you from ransomware or accidental deletion.

Global logistics operators depend on real-time Kafka streams for shipment tracking, route optimisation, and last-mile delivery. Their disaster recovery plan relies on cross-datacenter replication — which offers zero protection against the threats that actually cause data loss.

The risks you're living with right now

Cross-datacenter replication replicates deletions and corruption — it is not a backup
A ransomware event that hits one broker replicates perfectly across all brokers
Unrecoverable data loss in core Kafka systems halts the entire global sorting operation
No air-gapped copy means no recovery path from logical data loss
The Solution

True air-gapped backup for mission-critical shipment data

Kannika Armory provides continuous, real-time backup to immutable, decoupled object storage — completely isolated from your Kafka brokers. Recovery is point-in-time, self-service, and tested. Your backup data can also feed GenAI and analytics platforms directly.

Real Customer Story

How a logistics, post & parcel company solved this

The Situation

The Head of Data Platforms at a global logistics and parcel delivery company needed to ensure 24/7 availability for their core tracking and sorting systems.

The Challenge

Their existing disaster recovery plan relied on cross-datacenter replication — which they realised would not protect them from data corruption, accidental deletion, or ransomware events. Any unrecoverable data loss in their core Kafka systems would bring their entire global sorting operation to a halt.

The Solution

Kannika Armory provided a true, air-gapped backup and recovery solution — continuous real-time backup to immutable, decoupled object storage, completely isolated from the Kafka brokers. The backup data also became available to feed downstream analytics and AI platforms.

The Result

Within three months, they achieved a near-zero RPO and used the backup data to feed a new GenAI platform for route optimisation, increasing delivery efficiency by 15%. The backup data also reduced time to market for new versions by enabling safe, production-like testing environments.
