Story
Consumer Staples work at Schwarz Group spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Germany. On-call response was splitting across regional habits. On-call rotations asked for a shared way to run incident management without freezing local judgment.
New Relic (Pixie) is what they standardized on. New Relic provides observability software so engineering teams can monitor applications, infrastructure, and user experience. Schwarz Group uses it as the system of record for on-call response, with on-call rotations as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
