The document summarizes a case study of replatforming a logistics software application called 1Logistics onto Pivotal Cloud Foundry. A team from Protostellar worked with the customer for 10 weeks to migrate the application to the new platform, improving development processes, user experience, and operational efficiency. Key activities included establishing automated testing and deployment pipelines. Feedback from users was positive about the simpler, easier to use interface. The replatforming effort helped prepare the customer to support more transport management customers on the new 1Logistics solution.
