e-Courier Case Study
e-Courier, a cloud-based logistics software provider established in 1999, serves clients around the globe. Their platform includes a suite of tools to manage orders, dispatch, and deliveries across mobile, web, and warehouse environments. However, e-Courier needed to modernize their platform to remain competitive and enhance operational efficiency.
e-Courier faced several challenges:
- Outdated Legacy System: The legacy CMS portal only operated on Internet Explorer 11, limiting usability and performance.
- Complex Application Ecosystem: Managing multiple systems—like the DMS, eShip, and ec-Mobile apps—made it challenging to keep the platform aligned and efficient.
- Transition to Next-Gen Technology: Moving from legacy technology to a next-generation platform with ReactJS, SpringBoot, and GraphQL required careful planning to avoid disrupting operations.
Evizi provided end-to-end development and QA support to help e-Courier transition smoothly to a modernized platform. With expertise in both legacy and next-generation systems, Evizi became a critical partner in ensuring business continuity during the transformation.
Evizi designed a phased plan to:
- Support Legacy Operations: Provide maintenance and testing for legacy applications, ensuring continuity during the transition.
- Develop Next-Generation Systems: Build a new platform using ReactJS and Apollo on the frontend, with Java SpringBoot on the backend, hosted on AWS infrastructure.
- Integrate Testing Processes: Implement manual and automated testing with tools like Selenium, Playwright, and pytest to ensure each release met quality standards.
Evizi collaborated with e-Courier’s legacy and next-gen development teams, using Testrail for QA tracking and CircleCI for continuous integration. Regular testing cycles ensured smooth handoffs between legacy and new systems, minimizing downtime.
Without a seamless transition, e-Courier risked:
- Disruptions in Service: Delays in integrating the next-gen platform could have caused operational downtime.
- Security Vulnerabilities: The aging legacy CMS needed updates to remain secure and functional.
- Missed Market Opportunities: Failing to upgrade to modern infrastructure would limit scalability and competitiveness.
Evizi successfully supported both the legacy and next-gen platforms, ensuring smooth operations throughout the transition. The new platform was continuously delivered to staging and production environments for testing, with automation integrated to streamline testing and releases. With modern technology and robust QA processes in place, e-Courier is now equipped to scale efficiently and continue providing reliable logistics solutions to its global clientele.
