As one of Central Europe's leading intermodal logistics providers, Metrans was experiencing significant growth across its transportation, terminal, depot, container, and logistics operations. The existing core logistics system had been in operation for more than a decade and was no longer able to support the company's future ambitions. Increasing transaction volumes, expanding international operations, and growing business complexity required a modern platform capable of scaling with the business. Metrans needed a solution that would:

• Replace a legacy business-critical system
• Support rapidly growing operational volumes
• Improve planning and operational efficiency
• Create a foundation for future digitalization initiatives
• Enable long-term scalability across multiple countries and business units
• Support future automation and AI-driven optimization capabilities

SnapStack partnered with Metrans to design, build, and continuously evolve a completely new core logistics platform that today supports key business processes across the organization. The platform was developed using modern enterprise technologies and covers critical logistics operations including transportation planning, terminal management, depot management, container operations, process orchestration, and business-critical workflows. To ensure successful delivery, SnapStack assembled a multidisciplinary team consisting of business analysts, solution architects, backend and frontend developers, UI/UX specialists, DevOps engineers, and QA automation experts. The project was delivered through close collaboration with business stakeholders and operational teams, ensuring that the platform accurately reflected real-world logistics processes while remaining flexible enough to support future growth and innovation. Over time, the platform became the digital backbone of several core operational processes within the organization.

Enabling AI-Driven Logistics

Beyond the modernization of the core platform, SnapStack helped establish the foundations for the next generation of intelligent logistics operations. Building on the platform, our teams introduced AI-powered optimization capabilities designed to automate cargo distribution and train load planning. The solution evaluates operational parameters, capacity constraints, regulatory requirements, cargo characteristics, and business rules to automatically generate optimized loading plans. This initiative demonstrates how modern enterprise platforms can evolve beyond transaction processing into intelligent decision-support systems that improve planning accuracy, resource utilization, and operational efficiency.

Long-Term Partnership

What began as a software modernization initiative evolved into a long-term strategic partnership. Over the course of the engagement, SnapStack expanded the delivery team and continued supporting the platform through new releases, operational enhancements, architectural improvements, and innovation initiatives. Today, the platform remains a critical component of Metrans' technology landscape and serves as the foundation for future digital transformation and AI-powered operational excellence.
