Challenge
High-performance platform for
logistics services
Founded in 2000, Transporeon Group,
an SME from Ulm, Germany, links
manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers
with logistics service providers through its
TRANSPOREON platform for transportation
management, TICONTRACT platform for
e-sourcing, procurement and freight bill
auditing and its MERCAREON platform
for retail specific dock scheduling. These
three platforms currently link over 1000
shippers, 55000 carriers and 100000
users in over 80 countries. Users rely on
the web-based Software as a Service (SaaS)
to process tenders and award contracts,
post time slots for the loading and unloading
of goods and also to track their shipments.
Billing for contracted services is performed
on a transaction basis.
In view of this, system performance and IT
infrastructure reliability are business critical,
which is why Paul Lendrates, infrastructure
development manager at Transporeon
Group, opted for 3PAR Storage from Hewlett
Packard Enterprise (HPE). He purchased
the first three systems three years ago and
was so happy that he has now purchased
an additional three 3PARs. “What particularly
impressed me was the innovation of the
HPE storage systems, particularly the
all-flash arrays; however, the value for
money is there too of course,” he adds.
Other advantages for Lendrates include
the scalability and performance of the
HPE systems. The performance reliability
that Lendrates enjoys when using
proprietary Transporeon hardware
was one reason behind the decision
to move away from the use of
computing power from the cloud.
