Scalable Global Support with Tiered L1/L2 Operations

A multinational logistics leader partnered with INTECH to standardize product support across 50+ locations. Our tailored L1/L2 framework streamlined incident management, reduced load on dev/L3 teams, and created predictable releases with 24/7 reliability.

Client Overview

A Global Logistics Leader Orchestrating Ports and Trade

  • Client

    Multinational logistics provider headquartered in Dubai, operating 172 marine and inland terminals across 51 countries with always-on, high-volume operations

  • Industry

    End-to-end cargo logistics, port terminal operations, maritime services, and free zone management supporting global trade flows

  • Core Offering

    Large-scale port and logistics infrastructure enabled by enterprise platforms (including the Zodiac product) coordinating scheduling, movement, and compliance across regions

  • Mandate

    Replace fragmented support and ad-hoc releases with a scalable L1/L2 model standardizing incident management, protecting SLAs, and freeing L3/development to focus on roadmap delivery

Challenges We Overcome

Support and Scale Gaps Hindering Global Reliability

Rapid Rollout Outpaced Support Capacity

New geographies launched faster than L1/L2 could ramp, creating go-live backlogs and uneven coverage

L3 Overload and Maintenance Drag

Core engineering trapped in break-fix work; enhancement roadmaps slipped and MTTR trended upward

Fragmented Cross-Tier Collaboration

Unclear ownership and missing runbooks caused ticket ping-pong, delayed triage, and repetitive incidents

Inconsistent Customer Experience

Varying response times and sparse updates eroded trust, complicating renewals across regions

Scalability & Release Governance Gaps

Ad-hoc hotfixes, limited rollback planning, and environment drift reduced stability and audit readiness

Solutions

INTECH's Tiered Support Solution: Stability and Scale Across Regions

Always-On Monitoring & Alert Hygiene

24/7 telemetry with routed, deduplicated alerts for faster triage and reduced noise.

Structured Incident & Problem Management

Standardized runbooks, SLAs, and RCA practices to cut MTTR and recurrences.

Prioritized RFC Intake & Estimation

Lightweight CAB, effort sizing, and risk gates to protect live services.

Centralized RFI Handling & Knowledge Reuse

Templated responses and searchable articles to lift first-contact resolution.

Operational Reporting & Executive Dashboards

Real-time views of backlog, SLAs, and release health for proactive decisions.

Disciplined L2 Release & Environment Management

Staged rollouts, smoke tests, and rollback plans for predictable deployments.

Tech Stack

The Enterprise Stack Powering Reliable Global Support

Java (Core Services)

Modular, high-performance services and resilient APIs for core product workflows and incident isolation.

Microsoft .NET (Extensions)

Rapid adapters and utilities ensuring interoperability with legacy modules and faster change delivery.

Oracle (Database Platform)

Secure, high-availability backbone for incidents, RFCs, and audit logs with strong integrity controls.

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

Real-time SLA, MTTR, and backlog dashboards enabling drill-down analysis and proactive decisions.

Microsoft Windows Server (Infrastructure)

Hardened, standardized compute for predictable performance, patch governance, and compliance.

Redmine (ITSM Workflow Hub)

Unified intake for incidents, problems, RFCs, and release calendars enforcing ownership and reducing handoff friction.

Results
