Case Study: Stolt-Nielsen Limited achieves improved efficiency, stronger security, and better user experience with Zscaler

Stolt-Nielsen Improves Efficiency, Security, and User Experience with Zscaler and VMware

Stolt‑Nielsen, a global leader in chemical transportation with 150+ tankers, 50 locations and 6,500 employees, struggled to support its cloud-first strategy using a traditional MPLS WAN and on‑premises security. High costs, long contracts, centralised traffic backhaul to Europe caused latency and poor user experience for branch and remote users, while existing security and monitoring couldn’t adequately protect cloud and SaaS traffic.

Stolt‑Nielsen deployed VMware SD‑WAN together with Zscaler Internet Access to enable secure local internet breakouts and direct‑to‑cloud access for branches and remote staff. The solution was rolled out in days, delivering better performance and flexibility, and produced measurable gains: 28% cost reduction, a 110% average bandwidth increase per location and 99.8% uptime, while improving security and user experience company‑wide.
