CASE STUDY –
JOINT SOLUTION
TRANSDEV

Nodinite’s traceability met Ghost Nodes’ orchestration.

Transdev isn’t your average public transport operator. They run thousands of vehicles across fragmented systems — where even a minor glitch can ripple into chaos. To regain control, they needed more than just monitoring. They needed orchestration. Enter Ghost Nodes and Nodinite — two platforms, one backbone, and a solution built for scale.

CLIENT: Transdev (www.transdev.com)

OUTCOME IN SHORT:

  • Resolution time cut to a minimum
  • 100 % traceability across systems
  • Unified backbone powered by Ghost Nodes
    + Nodinite
  • More than 540 integration flows monitored

THREE ROLES. ONE SOUTION.

Who’s who.

Ghost Labs logo – integration orchestration platform

Swedish-built distributed integration infrastructure for orchestration, automation and execution across IT and OT.

Ghost Nodes runs and coordinates integrations across cloud, on-premises and distributed environments. Flows are built visually, remain visible and traceable and execute close to the systems and data they connect.

  • Distributed execution across environments
  • Visual orchestration, automation and traceability
  • Connects enterprise IT with OT and operational systems

Swedish monitoring, logging, and documentation platform that adds visibility and control to complex integrations.

Nodinite turns opaque data flows into traceable, actionable insights — helping IT teams detect, resolve, and document issues in near real time.

  • Focused on integration governance
  • Powerful logging interface and dashboard
  • Seamless compatibility with Ghost Nodes

A large public transport operator running a complex, always-on digital environment.

Transdev Sverige operates bus, train, tram and ferry services supported by a large digital landscape where vehicles, operational platforms and business systems continuously exchange information.

  • 540+ active integrations in Sweden
  • Operations across bus, train, tram and ferry
  • 80+ years of transport experience

PARTNER PERSPECTIVE

NODINITE

Nodinite

Ghost Nodes is a crucial component in achieving a secure and scalable architecture. It complements or replaces legacy integration solutions and provides a reliable platform for traditional integration, IoT integration, and AI orchestration — including agentic AI.

THE CHALLENGE:

When fragmentation slows everything down.

Transdev Sverige was already operating a large integration environment with hundreds of flows across operational and business-critical systems.

Nodinite was already in place, providing monitoring, logging and visibility into the existing BizTalk environment. That helped Transdev understand what was happening across its integrations.

But visibility alone could not remove the complexity that had accumulated in the underlying integration architecture.

Flows, dependencies and business logic had grown over many years. Troubleshooting could still mean tracing missing messages, explaining failures and following dependencies across several systems.

It was like trying to fix a networked printer from 2003 — with only a flashlight and hope.

The challenge was therefore not simply to see the integrations more clearly.

It was to create an integration architecture that was easier to orchestrate, change and operate — without losing the monitoring and traceability Transdev already relied on.

THE SOLUTION

Orchestration meets observability.

As Transdev began moving away from BizTalk, Ghost Nodes was introduced as the new orchestration and execution infrastructure — while Nodinite remained the dedicated platform for monitoring, logging and documentation.

The two platforms complement each other without depending on each other.

Ghost Nodes runs and orchestrates integrations and automation across IT and OT environments. Flows are built visually and remain visible and traceable directly in Ghost, giving teams insight into how integrations are structured and executed.

Nodinite adds a monitoring-first layer focused entirely on logging, observability, documentation and governance — giving Transdev a dedicated view across a large and complex integration landscape.

Together, the two platforms give Transdev a combination of capabilities that matters in day-to-day operations:

  • Distributed orchestration and automation through Ghost Nodes
  • Dedicated monitoring, logging and governance through Nodinite
  • Visual and traceable integration flows
  • Faster troubleshooting across complex dependencies
  • A clearer operational picture across IT and OT

The architecture also allows the two platforms to evolve independently. Transdev can extend orchestration, automation and new integration capabilities in Ghost Nodes while continuing to use Nodinite as its specialized observability layer.

Seeing that something failed is useful. Knowing where, why and what it affected is considerably more useful.

 

THE RESULT

From reactive troubleshooting to operational control.

With Ghost Nodes and Nodinite working side by side, Transdev gained a more structured and observable integration environment.

More than 540 IT integrations run through Ghost Nodes, with Nodinite providing dedicated monitoring, logging and traceability across those flows. Beyond IT, Ghost Nodes also extends orchestration into Transdev’s operational environment.

The scale is significant:

  • 540+ IT integrations orchestrated through Ghost Nodes and monitored through Nodinite
  • 1,600+ OT integrations running through Ghost Nodes
  • Around 50 million OT messages handled every day
  • Faster troubleshooting and resolution across complex integration flows
  • More proactive error handling and clearer stakeholder communication
  • Integration spanning both enterprise IT and operational technology
  • Greater digital sovereignty by keeping execution distributed and infrastructure choices open

The combination gives Transdev visibility across its IT integration landscape while Ghost Nodes extends orchestration all the way into the operational environment.

That means the same integration architecture can span business systems, datacenters, vehicles and edge environments — without requiring everything to run in one central location.

 


Because when around 50 million messages move every day, “we’ll have a look” is not much of an operating model.

WHAT COMES NEXT

FROM CONTROL TO INTELLIGENCE.

With the integration infrastructure in place, Transdev can keep extending what runs on top of it.

Ghost Labs and Transdev continue to develop integration, automation and IoT capabilities, while the same foundation opens the door to areas such as:

  • AI-assisted and agent-driven workflows
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Real-time fleet monitoring
  • Smarter operational and customer-facing processes
  • New IoT-based services

As new flows and services are added, Nodinite can continue to provide the dedicated monitoring, logging and governance layer around them.

The useful thing about a good foundation is that you don’t have to rebuild it every time the next idea arrives.
