Success stories of API integration.
summary
DHL deploys a UniFi shipment tracking API that shifts from polling to push/event-driven updates, cutting infrastructure load and CO2 while scaling to over a billion calls a month; one pilot customer saves about €50,000 a year. A central unified API portal and internal API management consolidate dozens of silos, an SMS gateway is wrapped by API layers to modernize decades‑old messaging, and a self‑service provisioning platform speeds API hosting and delivery.
