Case Study: Sendcloud achieves scalable shipping and faster carrier integration with STX Next

Sendcloud expands carrier portfolio with STX Next for 23,000 customers

Sendcloud, an award-winning European shipping solution provider, faced the challenge of integrating new carriers and expanding the capabilities of existing ones within their ecommerce platform. Their internal team needed to supplement their capacity to deliver this critical task within a required timeframe. They approached vendor STX Next for assistance, seeking expertise in backend development to help them scale.

STX Next implemented an innovative microservices solution, creating individual carrier integrations through a REST API while maintaining the existing monolith. Their work included developing proof-of-concept solutions, testing tools, and new microservices, which significantly sped up the integration process. The solution enabled Sendcloud to quickly and efficiently add new carriers to their portfolio, drastically reducing their time-to-market and allowing them to offer more comprehensive services to their customers.
