The project

From the heady early innovation days, where Z and RUSH moved fast and delivered category breaking features, as our relationship evolved, so did the products we delivered and scaled. 

Operating in a highly compliant, safety first and business critical environment, RUSH Managed Services provides Z with continuous compliance, cost certainty and assurity of uptime. Add to that actionable product & user data and Z has the best of both worlds - turning what could have been an operational burden into a strategic business enabler.

The partnership covers Z Energy's complex hybrid cloud environment spanning Azure and GCP, with PCI and NIST 500 compliant infrastructure supporting customer-facing digital products and payment systems. The technical stack includes microservices architecture, Azure Kubernetes for dynamic scaling, and fully integrated on-pump controllers, cameras, and POS systems connected to cloud infrastructure.

Product Maintenance, Optimisation & Compliance

RUSH built, evolved and manages Z Energy's platform. Dedicated support engineering handles incident investigation, performance monitoring through SumoLogic logs and Service Bus analysis, database query optimisation, and proactive log alerts to prevent customer-facing issues.

Continuous vulnerability monitoring and remediation maintains PCI DSS and NIST compliance while support automation increases efficiency.

DevOps and Development Support

Back-end support resolves software issues, fixes bugs, automates support, optimizes logging for cost reduction, and updates dependencies for security. This enables Z Energy's teams to focus on customer features and innovation. Front-end support works with Z Energy's engineers to rapidly troubleshoot and investigate incidents.

Incident Response and Problem Management

RUSH's 24/7 incident response ensures continuous coverage for Z Energy's digital platforms. The service monitors system logs, responds to and diagnoses incidents, and implements minor usability enhancements. This enables always-on digital services without requiring Z Energy's internal teams to maintain 24/7 on-call rotations.

"I appreciate the timely fashion that I get responses, as it supports me with closing tickets quickly and keeping our customers happy. The best outcomes I find are usually with RUSH’s help, so thank you so much."
