Case Study: Hupac Group achieves 50% reduction in maintenance costs and 40% faster development with LANSA

Hupac Group modernizes legacy transport management solution with LANSA

Hupac Group, Europe’s largest intermodal rail operator with 30 companies, ~700 employees and about 150 trains a day, outgrew its 30-year-old GOAL system built on COOL:2E and needed a modern, scalable platform to support new processes, devices and about 1 million annual bookings. The long-term modernization prioritized new booking and real-time train monitoring capabilities while retaining some legacy components during a phased migration.

Hupac adopted Visual LANSA with LANSA Integrator and aXes to build the WOLF platform—delivering a customer booking portal and a multi‑role real-time train monitoring system—while gradually sunsetting GOAL components. The low-code approach cut maintenance costs by 50%, reduced development time by up to 40%, freed 30% of the IT team for other projects, and aims for a 90% rollout across the group within three years.
