Case Study: Swift Transportation achieves higher-quality, more maintainable applications with Rogue Wave Software's Zend portfolio

Swift Transportation - Customer Case Study

Swift Transportation, the largest full‑truckload motor carrier in North America, needed to modernize web applications on the IBM i platform and improve developer productivity and application quality. To meet those challenges they engaged Rogue Wave Software, using Zend Server, Zend Framework and Zend Professional Services (onboarding and PHP training) to establish better development practices and tooling.

Rogue Wave Software delivered Zend Server features (Debugging, Monitoring, Z‑Ray, Data Cache, Job Queue), Zend Framework components, and training, enabling caching of SQL results, background job processing, and reuse of MVC components to avoid rebuilding common functionality. The result: faster response times, fewer debugging cycles, measurable time savings (developers report “saving months” of work), and higher‑quality, more maintainable applications — plus continued PHP 5.6 long‑term support while Swift plans upgrades.
