Business Summary
TROX is a globally leading manufacturer of components, units and systems for ventilation and air conditioning and has been working on its digital development for years. On this basis, a modern self-service e-commerce platform was created, which can be operated and further developed optimally through cloud services in the AWS Cloud.
The project focuses on DevOps principles and serverless computing to make the IT infrastructure flexibly scalable and cost-efficient. This allows TROX’s e-commerce platform to grow with the company while reducing maintenance effort and enabling resources to be used as needed.

How Trox Benefits From Modern Cloud Services
by outsourcing central services to the AWS cloud
with usage-based billing in the pay-as-you-go model
because resources can be added as needed and reduced again
thanks to serverless infrastructure and automated processes
through continuous monitoring with Amazon CloudWatch
Project Overview
About TROX
TROX is a world market-leading manufacturer of components, units and systems for the ventilation and air conditioning of rooms. With 32 operating subsidiaries in 27 countries, 20 production facilities and additional representative offices, the TROX GROUP is active in more than 80 countries and generates global revenue of around 740 million euros with more than 5,000 employees worldwide. As an internationally operating industrial company, TROX continuously develops its digital offerings further and relies on long-term partnerships in doing so.
Initial Situation
Before the use of modern cloud services, operating the IT infrastructure at TROX involved higher maintenance effort and less transparency in costs. Processes and ways of working were geared to be less agile, meaning that the company was not always able to respond to changes as quickly as would have been necessary. In addition, the e-commerce platform could only be scaled to a limited extent in line with international growth, because capacities could not be adjusted flexibly.
Challenges
TROX was faced with the task of aligning the operation of its e-commerce platform based on commercetools so that it could keep pace flexibly with international growth and varying usage peaks. At the same time, maintenance effort and operating costs had to be reduced without complicating the existing system landscape. In addition, a model was required that enables transparent, usage-based costs and safeguards the continued development of digital services in the long term on an economically viable basis.
Cloud modernisation at TROX: DevOps, Serverless and Monitoring
Modernisation of the system architecture with AWS
TROX opted for the American cloud computing provider Amazon Web Services as part of the modernisation of its system architecture and migrated central data to the cloud.
Further development in line with DevOps principles
The company’s data is managed and further developed in the AWS cloud in line with DevOps principles, ensuring that the operation of TROX’s self-service platform is supported in the best possible way.
Serverless infrastructure for flexible growth
Migrating TROX data to the AWS Cloud created a serverless IT infrastructure whose services remain cost-effective thanks to usage-based billing and enable flexible growth of the B2B shop in line with the company.
Monitoring and reporting with Amazon CloudWatch
With the help of the AWS service Amazon CloudWatch, dotSource introduced monitoring and reporting services that provide a detailed overview of the services and support their scaling as well as the reduction of maintenance effort .
Cloud services as the basis for scalable digital platforms
TROX now uses a modern cloud infrastructure that efficiently supports the operation of its self-service platform and flexibly scales with the company. DevOps principles, a serverless architecture and monitoring with Amazon CloudWatch ensure that maintenance effort is reduced, costs remain transparent and digital services are provided reliably.
