Alpega Group, a leading global logistics software company, coordinates the transportation of freight in 80 countries, working with 80,000 carriers and 200,000 members. This complex operation relies on the company’s Transport Management System (TMS). However, the company faced challenges with system reliability and efficiency. A system failure could cause significant delays and queues, impacting logistics processes worldwide. The company needed a solution that would ensure the smooth and continuous running of its TMS, allowing it to respond to demand and scale its operations accordingly. The challenge was to implement a new container management system that would not only improve the reliability and efficiency of their operations but also help optimize freight transportation and create more sustainability within the industry.

Alpega Group decided to implement a new container management system built on Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift. This change facilitated greater agility, flexibility, and stability for Alpega’s Smart Booking system.
