Case Study: VLI improves cargo management efficiency and reliability with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

VLI improves cargo management efficiency and reliability with OCI

VLI, one of Brazil’s largest integrated logistics operators, faced growing reliability issues with aging on-premises systems that handled bills of lading and train movement. Frequent errors, outages, and long database maintenance windows were slowing train loading and dispatch, hurting productivity, profitability, and on-time cargo delivery. The company needed a more resilient platform and a disaster recovery/backup strategy, and chose Oracle technologies including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle Exadata Database Service.

Oracle worked with VLI to migrate its core applications and databases to OCI with almost zero downtime, while also trimming 12% of unnecessary data and preparing legacy apps for multi-region deployment. The move delivered measurable gains: system errors fell by 30%, core train operations and billing ran up to 10 times faster, and the business saw fewer incidents and less downtime. With Oracle, VLI improved availability, stability, and customer service, and is now positioned for stronger continuity and future efficiency gains.
