- The Story
A global logistics provider operating across 60+ countries was facing growing pressure to digitize its operations amid rising customer expectations for faster, more transparent delivery services. While demand was increasing, the company’s monolithic legacy applications and siloed systems were slowing progress. Manual processes, inconsistent data visibility, and long development cycles made it difficult to launch new services or respond quickly to disruptions in the supply chain.
Recognizing that agility and speed were now mission-critical, the client engaged Trinet Technologies to lead a full-scale transformation of their application development environment. The goal: to implement agile practices, enable real-time tracking, and build scalable systems that could support global growth without compromising performance or security.
Breaking the Bottlenecks of Legacy Development
Before engaging Trinet Technologies, the logistics enterprise was struggling to meet the demands of a modern, connected customer base. Their traditional waterfall development processes led to long lead times and limited flexibility, making it nearly impossible to innovate at scale. Disconnected systems across warehousing, shipment tracking, and customer portals added complexity, friction, and cost.
The lack of standardized application frameworks across regions created duplicate efforts, fragmented data flows, and uneven customer experiences.
Legacy development methods delayed time-to-market by over 8 weeks for critical feature releases and hindered real-time response to delivery disruptions.
Without automation and modern architecture, application performance lagged—especially during seasonal peaks or weather-related delays.
These challenges created not only operational drag but also strategic risk. The client’s leadership recognized that delivering customer-centric logistics required faster innovation cycles and modern infrastructure that could adapt to global demands. Trinet Technologies was brought in not just to optimize systems—but to reimagine how the organization builds and delivers digital value.
Our Approach
Trinet Technologies implemented a multi-phase agile transformation roadmap tailored to the client’s operational scale and business goals. We began with an enterprise-wide agile maturity assessment to identify bottlenecks, capability gaps, and quick wins. The legacy development organization was restructured into cross-functional product teams equipped with agile training and coaching.
We introduced Agile@Scale frameworks such as SAFe to harmonize development across regions and functions. Product owners, scrum masters, and DevOps engineers were deployed to ensure fast, collaborative iteration cycles with measurable outcomes. CI/CD pipelines were integrated to enable continuous integration and deployment, dramatically improving release velocity and reducing rollback risk.
From a technology perspective, core logistics applications were re-engineered into cloud-native microservices running on AWS. We also implemented Kubernetes for orchestration, automated testing for release assurance, and Grafana for real-time application monitoring. To support real-time shipment visibility, we integrated telemetry data into a central dashboard, giving customers and partners instant insights into logistics movements.
This approach allowed the organization to standardize workflows, improve software quality, and increase transparency across their digital operations.
The Outcome
The transformation led by Trinet Technologies resulted in significant improvements in agility, performance, and customer satisfaction. Application release cycles were reduced by 70%, enabling the logistics provider to launch new services—like real-time ETA notifications and self-service pickup portals—in weeks instead of months.
Operational visibility increased dramatically, with real-time shipment tracking reducing customer support calls by 45%. The modular architecture enabled rapid scalability during peak seasons, with zero downtime reported during the most recent holiday rush.
More importantly, the cultural shift toward agile empowered teams at every level—from warehouse operations to customer service—to collaborate more effectively, respond to change faster, and continuously improve.
Today, the logistics provider is seen not just as a transportation leader, but as a digital innovator—thanks to an application ecosystem built for speed, scale, and resilience.
