Case Study: Trane Technologies achieves back-office automation and 10× developer productivity with Mendix

Miroslav Samoylenko Makes People’s Work Easier with Back-office Automation

Miroslav Samoylenko, Managing Technical Architect at Ingersoll‑Rand (TRANE), faced the challenge of modernizing back‑office processes that relied heavily on ERP systems and lengthy custom development. The team needed faster time‑to‑market, better developer productivity, and a way to deliver improved customer and data‑entry experiences without spinning up new infrastructure or rebuilding monolithic apps.

They adopted the Mendix low‑code platform as a hosted, reusable solution to visualize ERP web services and build lightweight back‑office UIs. In about 18 months they delivered five to six apps, leveraged reusable modules and native Java integrations (e.g., Lucene), and reported roughly 10× productivity versus .NET—enabling SaaS delivery, a move toward microservices, and much faster agile sprints.
