Ewals Cargo Care Boosts Logistics Efficiency with WSO2 Integration

Ewals Cargo Care, a European multimodal logistics provider, has implemented a central integration layer powered by WSO2 technology to streamline its extensive network operations. The initiative aims to enhance data exchange, reduce manual processes, and improve end-to-end supply chain visibility across its European routes.

The logistics firm, which manages over 2,450 trucks and 5,500 trailers across 14 countries, previously grappled with a complex IT infrastructure. Its operations relied on more than eight specialized platforms, including ERP, planning, finance, CRM, and EDI systems, alongside various legacy applications. These systems were connected through intricate point-to-point integrations, leading to maintenance challenges, data inconsistencies, and limited real-time oversight. The fragmented approach often required manual handling of dependencies for critical information like shipment details and driver updates, increasing operational risks.

To address these inefficiencies, Ewals Cargo Care adopted WSO2’s integration capabilities to establish a unified data exchange layer. This central platform now links all its disparate systems, facilitating automatic and consistent information flow regardless of underlying technology or data format.

Maarten Daniels, Manager ICT Solutions at Ewals Cargo Care, emphasized the critical role of integration for their diverse application landscape. “WSO2 provides us with a central integration layer that allows our systems to exchange information reliably, while giving us the flexibility to modernize our IT landscape step by step,” Daniels stated.

The new infrastructure manages millions of business-critical messages monthly, ensuring consistent processing and automated monitoring to resolve data issues proactively. This has resulted in more reliable delivery of shipment statuses and driver information, providing managers with enhanced data for decision-making.

Sharya Unamboowe, vice president and general manager of WSO2’s integration business unit, commented on the partnership, highlighting the importance of timely and accurate information in logistics. “We’re proud to have played a part in giving ECC a foundation that keeps their operations running smoothly today and gives them room to grow and modernize with confidence,” Unamboowe said.

The integration layer also offers Ewals Cargo Care increased architectural flexibility, enabling the modernization or replacement of individual systems with minimal disruption to daily operations, as demonstrated by the company’s ongoing ERP transformation. This strategic upgrade positions Ewals Cargo Care to further expand its multimodal network and advance its commitment to sustainable logistics practices across Europe.
