Logistics, freight forwarding, global shipping is as removed from the latest innovation in IT as you can imagine. I worked for a client with a fairly modern stack but we hit major problems when it came to integration with the IT stack of a global shipping incumbent. It's even worse than the banking systems. That world still runs on paper, faxes and REST APIs are generally not used there, because they are too new. XML is all the rage because it lets them stuff Word documents into CDATA. FTP is cool too. It's extremely difficult to make a dent in that world, unless we are talking about dents to the sids of the shipping container ships hitting some rock.
