Aras Kargo A.S. is an innovative courier and cargo company that is focused on continuous improvement. The company offers domestic and international services over Turkey’s largest distribution network. Through its 12,000 employees, more than 4,000 vehicles, and 29 transfer centers, it serves 12 million customers each month. The company has been recognized for its women-friendly, sustainable organizational practices. Aras Kargo is committed to investing in technology and has committed to invest 30 million euros over five years to enhance its operations and services.
The Challenge
Aras Kargo, a courier and cargo company, was facing challenges due to its rapid expansion. The company was experiencing a surge in demand from online shoppers and vendors, which its operations were not equipped to handle at such a high scale. The company had up to 1,000 hardcoded integrations for its existing 200 business partners, which needed to be streamlined. Additionally, the company needed a robust application and data integration tool to manage its business processes. The company was also looking to expand its international network of over 200 partners and needed a solution that could scale with its business.
The Solution
Aras Kargo partnered with Software AG to implement a webMethods platform solution featuring Integration Server for B2B integration and webMethods API Portal and webMethods API Gateway for API management. This solution allowed Aras Kargo to safely and securely open up existing services to its website and external partners, leading to significant efficiency gains. The company was able to streamline its operations and scale its services to meet the increasing demand. The solution also enabled Aras Kargo to integrate with new partners, including e-commerce giant Alibaba, despite the lack of IT standards in Alibaba's systems.
