Executive Summary

A high-end charter operator was running multiple booking platforms, Dynamics 365 CRM, and downstream applications with no shared integration layer and no way to keep data in sync. Inferenz built an event-driven, cloud-native integration platform anchored by a Canonical Data Model on Azure Redis Cache, standardizing all customer, account, and booking entities into a single source of truth. The result: real-time data sync, significantly lower infrastructure costs, and complete cross-system accuracy across every connected platform.

Challenges

The client operated a fragmented technology landscape with no shared integration layer and no way to keep critical booking data consistent across systems.

01

Data inconsistency across systems

Booking records updated in one platform had no guarantee of reflecting in others, creating real risk of conflict or duplicate bookings for high-value charter clients.

02

No integration layer or canonical model

The engagement started from scratch with no data model, no CRM connection, and limited technical clarity on the client side. A structured POC approach was essential before any production build.

03

Performance bottleneck under load

Azure Logic Apps prototyping recorded nearly 7-second latency, well above the threshold required for near-real-time booking operations.

04

Secure, controlled API exposure

All APIs had to remain accessible only within Azure VM boundaries via Azure API Management, demanding a security-first design that preserved performance at the same time.

Our Solution

Inferenz built an event-driven cloud-native integration platform anchored by a Canonical Data Model on Azure Redis Cache, giving every connected system one trusted source of truth.

POC-validated technology selection

A structured POC compared Redis Cache against Azure SQL Server on cost and latency before any production build. Redis outperformed SQL on both counts. SQL licensing overhead significantly inflated the cost of the SQL option, making Redis the clear choice on performance and economics.

Canonical data model on Redis

All customer, account, and booking entities were standardized into a single accessible format, eliminating data inconsistency across booking platforms, CRM, and downstream consumers.

Inbound and outbound Dynamics 365 integration

Inbound APIs handled data flowing from front-end systems into Dynamics 365 CRM. Outbound APIs pushed updates back to all connected consumers with no direct system-to-system coupling.

Latency optimization from Logic Apps to Function Apps

The team migrated from Logic Apps to Azure Function Apps and optimized the transformation code, clearing the real-time SLA that mattered most for charter booking operations.

Metadata-driven governance layer

All CRM data was validated against business rules before storage. Status flags and transaction tables ensured only clean, approved records reached downstream consumers, building data quality in rather than relying on post-hoc fixes.

Secure API exposure via Azure API Management

All APIs were secured within Azure VMs and exposed exclusively via Azure API Management, keeping access controlled and monitored without any trade-off on performance.
