挑战

Manheim, a leading provider of vehicle remarketing services, faced challenges in maintaining high performance during a rapidly growing online and mobile app user base. The company's online presence serves as an additional buying channel for automotive industry professionals, providing them with valuable research tools to determine the current wholesale market value for any given vehicle. However, if one of their sites is not performing well, it can affect their ability to operate at maximum capacity and properly service their customers. Furthermore, as automotive professionals became accustomed to conducting much of their business on smartphones, Manheim responded with a major expansion of its mobile capabilities. This added complexity to their environment, making it challenging to diagnose problems.

Then engineers use the Transaction Traces feature to dig deeper into the root of a problem. New Relic gives the entire Development group unprecedented visibility into Manheim’s fast-moving online and mobile environments, providing a common set of tools and metrics that all team members know and trust. As Manheim continues to push forward into the mobile space, the IT team will use New Relic data to make sure that mobile apps keep pace with major increases in user demand.
