Case Study: Cone Center achieves sub-5ms multimodal logistics across 24 countries with Akka

Cone Center delivers sub-5ms logistics across 24 countries with Akka

Cone Center, a multimodal transport logistics platform, faced the challenge of coordinating global shipments across air, sea, rail, and road freight. The industry's razor-thin margins meant that every millisecond of delay in routing decisions could result in a late delivery. They needed a system capable of processing logistics events in under 5 milliseconds while scaling across 24 countries without sacrificing performance for their 350+ customers.

Using the Akka platform, Cone Center modeled each shipment as an independent, stateful entity to track its route in real time. This event-driven, distributed solution provided sub-5ms response latency for mission-critical routing decisions. The results included efficiently serving 350+ customers across 24 countries with consistent performance, enabling real-time visibility and coordination that led to faster decisions and higher on-time delivery rates.
