Migration of two Redmine applications to Easy Redmine
More professional tool than Redmine and well-known environment
The leading provider of smart logistics solutions from Dubai (due to security policies we cannot disclose the name of the company), used two Redmine applications. They decided to make a change to have everything in one professional app and with a solution for solving clients’ tickets. Read their story about the smooth implementation and what Easy Redmine brought them.
Before Easy Redmine
Previously the world’s leading provider of smart logistics solutions used two Redmine project management applications – one to work with internal users and one to work with external users. On top of that, the company used other different tools for everyday activities. This wide range of tools made it impossible to have a clear picture of the project's status.

Time for implementation
As the client was using Redmine applications for a long time, there was no need to do an implementation of Easy Redmine itself. Firstly, we performed two test migrations to eliminate most of the shortcomings. This made the sharp migration go smoothly. We subsequently developed a special migrator which we now use for more complex migrations.
The clients chose the cloud solution. And so, to support a higher number of users and intensive use of the tool, it runs on a private cloud.
And the results?
The implementation of Easy Redmine brought:
- Single timesaving tool for multiple daily activities
