Enterprise Performance & Volume Testing Built for Supply Chain Systems
Ensure your systems perform—at Go Live, upgrades, and peak season.
Enterprise systems must perform under pressure, especially during peak demand. Cycle® delivers performance and volume testing built for complex supply chain systems like WMS, ERP, and TMS.
From early-stage planning to peak-season simulation, our platform helps validate stability, scalability, and responsiveness—before they impact production. Confidently test high-volume scenarios and eliminate performance blind spots across your critical systems.
Why Performance Testing Matters After
Go Live - and Beyond
Performance testing isn’t just a pre-Go Live task. In today’s fast-moving enterprise environments, change is constant—new features, system integrations, infrastructure upgrades, and seasonal scale. Without ongoing testing, even small updates can create big disruptions.
It’s important to understand the key types of performance testing used today:
Backend performance testing typically focuses on individual components like APIs, databases, or middleware. It’s often run by development teams early in the SDLC to validate server-side performance.
Mock Go Lives simulate real-world operational loads in a full production-like setting. These are valuable for building confidence but require extensive coordination, on-site setup, and are difficult to repeat.
Cycle complements both. While backend testing and mock Go Lives play important roles, they rarely deliver repeatable, end-to-end testing on a fully configured enterprise system. That’s where Cycle fits.
By placing Cycle’s automated performance tests between backend component testing and a full mock Go Live, you gain a scalable and cost-effective way to:
Simulate Operational Changes: Model new volumes, business rules, or workflows—without relying on physical setup or real-time user input.
Validate System-Wide Performance: Test integrated performance across your WMS, ERP, ASRS, conveyors, and other systems—going beyond what backend testing can catch.
Catch Real-World Issues Early: Detect performance degradation caused by code changes, growing data, or multi-tenant environments before they reach production.
Spot Hidden Bottlenecks: Identify issues at smaller or remote sites that could go unnoticed until they slow down operations post-deployment.
Retest After Updates: Run tests on demand after infrastructure or software changes to ensure nothing breaks silently.
Cycle brings confidence and control to a space that often relies on high-cost, high-effort testing moments. It's not a replacement for your existing strategies—it fills the gap between them.
