BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an infrastructure engineer at QuickChek Corporation, a retail company. We operate over 150 convenience stores in New Jersey and New York, offering freshly prepared foods, baked goods, and award-winning coffee, focusing on customer satisfaction and quality service.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Ryware to accomplish for QuickChek Corporation’s infrastructure needs?

We hired Ryware to support several infrastructure and backend engineering initiatives with three primary objectives: 1) modernize and optimize our infrastructure to improve system reliability, scalability, and overall performance; 2) develop and integrate backend services and internal APIs that streamline operational processes across multiple business systems; and 3) automate deployment and monitoring workflows while strengthening security, reducing manual maintenance, and improving system stability.

SOLUTION

Can you describe the scope of work Ryware handled for this project at QuickChek? Please include the main deliverables if you can.

Ryware partnered with our infrastructure and engineering teams to improve the reliability, performance, and maintainability of several internal systems. Their work included designing and developing backend services, implementing RESTful API integrations, optimizing database performance, and enhancing cloud-based infrastructure to support business-critical applications. 
They also automated deployment workflows, improved system monitoring and logging, resolved infrastructure and application issues, and assisted with performance tuning to ensure stable day-to-day operations.

In addition to implementation work, Ryware participated in technical planning, architecture discussions, code reviews, testing, and deployment activities. They collaborated closely with our internal team, adapted quickly to changing priorities, and provided ongoing support throughout the engagement.

The primary deliverables included backend service development, API integrations, infrastructure optimization, deployment automation, database and application performance improvements, monitoring enhancements, technical documentation, bug fixes, and post-deployment support.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Ryware from February–August 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from your project with Ryware that showed progress or success for QuickChek Corporation?

The project delivered measurable improvements in both operational efficiency and system performance. Development productivity increased by approximately 20%, allowing our team to complete planned infrastructure enhancements more quickly. Infrastructure-related support incidents decreased by nearly 30% after system optimizations, while backend response times improved by around 18% through database tuning and service enhancements. Deployment automation also reduced manual release effort by approximately 40%, resulting in more consistent deployments, fewer post-release issues, and improved overall system reliability.

We measured the 20% increase in development productivity using our team's sprint velocity and delivery metrics. After Ryware joined the project and helped optimize our development and deployment processes, we consistently completed about 20% more planned user stories and infrastructure tasks per sprint while maintaining our quality standards. We also observed fewer development delays caused by infrastructure-related issues, allowing our engineering team to focus more time on planned enhancements instead of operational support.

We measured the 30% reduction in infrastructure-related support incidents using data from our internal IT service management (ITSM) ticketing system. We compared the average number of infrastructure-related support tickets and recurring operational issues during the months before Ryware's improvements with the period following deployment. After the infrastructure optimizations, deployment automation, and performance enhancements were implemented, we observed a noticeable decline in recurring incidents and fewer support requests related to system stability and backend performance.

How did Ryware perform from a project management standpoint?

Ryware's project management was organized, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the engagement. They established clear milestones, provided regular progress updates, and consistently delivered agreed-upon work within the planned schedule. When our priorities shifted or new infrastructure requirements emerged, they adapted quickly and communicated the impact on timelines before moving forward.

Their team was proactive in identifying potential risks, addressing technical challenges early, and ensuring there were no surprises during implementation. Overall, they met their delivery commitments, responded promptly to our requests, and worked collaboratively with our internal engineering team to keep the project moving efficiently.

What did you find most impressive or unique about them?

What impressed us most was Ryware's ability to combine strong technical expertise with a collaborative approach. Their engineers quickly understood our existing infrastructure and became productive with minimal onboarding, allowing them to contribute as an extension of our internal team. They consistently looked beyond the immediate requirements by suggesting practical improvements to system performance, automation, and maintainability. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering high-quality solutions made them a dependable partner throughout the project.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, we were very satisfied with Ryware's performance and the quality of their work. If there was one area for improvement, it would be providing more proactive long-term recommendations around infrastructure scalability and future technology planning earlier in the engagement. While they were always responsive when we requested guidance, introducing those strategic discussions sooner could have helped us evaluate additional optimization opportunities. Aside from that, the collaboration was smooth, and we were pleased with both the process and the results.
