Many chemical laboratories use a device called the NIR (Near Infrared) by FOSS. This device is used to measure certain parameters in food and agricultural products, such as the moisture and fat percentage. Mars also uses this device to safely test their products such as the well-know Mars, Bounty and Snicker bars.

Mars was in need of an in-house back-end application to transport the data collected by the NIR device from the FOSS database to an internal Mars database in another country. The application had to collect a lot of data from various sources and combine them in one source, while being really fast, reliable, and secure. The application was made using the preferred programming language used in other Mars applications, and it was deployed in an Azure Windows environment within the Mars network.
