Case Study: Nijhof-Wassink achieves unified, secure single-point app access and 100% uptime with Citrix NetScaler

How Citrix NetScaler unifies the network for a highly mobile, distributed workforce

Nijhof-Wassink is an international logistics provider with about 1,100 employees across 20 branches in several European countries and a highly mobile workforce that must securely access transport-management and business apps from many locations and devices. The company faced a fragmented, line-of-business specific access environment—multiple URLs, inconsistent interfaces and slow mobile app performance—which increased help-desk load and complicated real-time tracking and uploads from drivers in the field.

NWG Services migrated to a virtualized Citrix stack (XenApp/XenDesktop) fronted by NetScaler VPX, StoreFront and NetScaler Unified Gateway with GSLB, delivering a single URL and SSO to all apps. The change improved reliability (dual-data-center deployment with 100% uptime), sped logins to under 30 seconds, cut support calls by about 30%, simplified device onboarding and gave the IT team scalable, easy-to-manage application delivery and deeper analytics for proactive troubleshooting.
