How Parallels RAS supports transportation and logistics

See how Parallels RAS enables secure application delivery, operational resilience, and IT modernization across distributed logistics environments.

Control and configure IT operations for logistics

Simplify IT across offices, depots, warehouses, and fleets with centralized application delivery and control.

Deploy quickly, even across distributed locations

Distribute applications quickly and consistently across regional hubs, depots, and temporary sites through a single management platform. Minimize configuration drift and standardize access as new locations or teams come online.

Deliver mission-critical systems from a centralized location

Deploy TMS, WMS, ERP, dispatch, and routing applications from a centralized environment. Ensure consistent access across roles and locations without local installs—which simplifies updates and reduces support overhead.

Modernize with hybrid and legacy in mind

Extend existing Windows-based logistics systems into hybrid and cloud environments without refactoring. Support phased modernization while maintaining performance and uptime for critical operations.

Give contractors and carriers secure access

Onboard and offboard contractors, third-party carriers, and seasonal staff quickly using centralized access controls, MFA, and role-based policies—reducing risk while supporting flexible workforce models.

Build reliable, efficient IT for logistics

Support always-on operations with consistent access, reliable performance, and sustainable costs.

Keep mission-critical workloads available

Ensure reliable access to dispatch, warehouse, and planning systems with built-in load balancing and high availability—reducing downtime risk in fast-moving logistics environments.

Maintain performance in remote and field environments

Deliver responsive application access across depots, yards, and vehicles, even with limited or inconsistent bandwidth. Keep teams productive despite challenging network conditions.

Centralize desktop management and updates

Simplify patching, updates, and policy enforcement by centrally managing applications and desktops. Reduce operational overhead for IT teams supporting multiple sites and user roles.

Control TCO with predictable costs

Lower total cost of ownership by consolidating tools, simplifying licensing, and extending endpoint lifecycles. Improve budget predictability while scaling to meet seasonal and operational demands.
