CHALLENGE
Enabling business opportunities
A leading European logistics and transport company sought to improve development speed and scalability while enabling new business opportunities.
The existing system was monolithic and complex, making it difficult to quickly adapt to market changes. Instead, the client needed a modular, low-risk solution that would allow for rapid experimentation and efficient scaling without disrupting core operations.
SOLUTION

Modular architecture
Designed an autonomous domain for new features, reducing dependency on the core system
Cloud-based scalability
Hosted business logic and state management in the cloud for flexibility and performance
Event-driven integration
Connected the extension to the main system via APIs and Kafka, ensuring seamless data flow
Faster development cycles
Enabled independent deployments, empowering teams to release features quickly
