Case Study: Green Cargo achieves 10x faster delivery and accelerated cloud migration with OutSystems

Green Cargo Adopts OutSystems to Drive Innovation and Incremental Cloud Migration

Green Cargo, the Swedish state–owned rail logistics operator (400 electric trains), faced stalled digital innovation due to a heavily customized SAP and legacy mainframe environment and a largely outsourced IT function. New CIO Ingo Paas rejected a multi‑year rip‑and‑replace plan and instead proposed an incremental cloud‑first strategy to unlock data from legacy systems and bring development in‑house.

By adopting OutSystems alongside Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, Green Cargo rapidly built an in‑house software factory staffed with seven graduate developers and fast onboarding through OutSystems training. The team delivered a railyard mobile app, predictive‑maintenance solution and a customer portal in months, achieving up to 10x faster delivery and ~80% time savings, cutting wheel‑bearing failures by 50% and saving an estimated €250k on the railyard app while avoiding far higher CRM costs.
