Logistics Company Cloud Transformation

A national logistics provider with operations across all 7 Emirates was running 40+ applications on scattered on-premises servers in 3 different locations, with no disaster recovery capability. System outages occurred monthly, each costing an estimated AED 200K in delayed shipments and manual workarounds. The company needed a cloud transformation that would deliver reliability, scalability, and a platform for innovation.

We executed a comprehensive cloud transformation to AWS, starting with a detailed application discovery and dependency mapping exercise. Applications were categorised into re-host, re-platform, and re-architect groups based on business criticality and modernisation potential. The core TMS (Transport Management System) was re-architected as a cloud-native application with real-time shipment tracking, automated dispatch, and a driver mobile app.

Post-migration, the logistics company operates a fully redundant multi-AZ architecture on AWS with automated backups, disaster recovery with 15-minute RPO, and infrastructure-as-code deployment using Terraform. The real-time tracking platform processes GPS updates from 500+ vehicles every 30 seconds, and customers can track their shipments through a self-service portal. Operational resilience transformed from monthly outages to 99.95% uptime.
