Case Study: American Transportation and Logistics Company achieves API-first efficiency and cost savings with ProKarma

API-first approach for a transportation and logistics company

American Transportation and Logistics Company, a U.S.-based transportation and logistics provider with more than $8 billion in annual revenue and 38,000 employees, needed to modernize how it worked with 800+ carriers. When customer RFPs began demanding modern API practices, the company recognized that its existing EDI and value-added network setup was no longer competitive. It partnered with ProKarma to move toward an API-first, product-oriented approach.

ProKarma worked with the client to define API fundamentals, establish an API business domain blueprint, and train the team on productization and API best practices. The company redesigned its interfaces for external users and built APIs that integrated more easily with carrier partners, reducing meetings and speeding delivery. As a result, American Transportation and Logistics Company retired its costly value-added network, lowered mainframe and EDI-related expenses, and became more agile in responding to market changes.
