Translink
Digital Infrastructure for the Netherlands' Transportation Backbone
The Challenge: Legacy Systems Limiting Growth
Translink, the technology company behind the Netherlands' OV-chipkaart system processing over 2 billion annual transactions, faced critical limitations with their proprietary CMS infrastructure. Their legacy website architecture led to disconnected processes, limited scalability, and hindered their ability to serve millions of daily public transport users effectively.
The outdated system prevented seamless integration with modern APIs, limited content management capabilities, and created barriers for future digital innovation. As the connecting force behind Netherlands' unified public transport payment system, Translink needed a robust, scalable solution that could match their enterprise-grade operations.
The Solution: Headless Architecture with Enterprise Security
Aery delivered a complete digital transformation by implementing a modern headless website architecture built on WordPress with enterprise-grade security protocols. Our solution leveraged Astro.js for lightning-fast performance and seamless user experiences.
The new architecture separated content management from presentation, enabling Translink to deliver consistent experiences across all touchpoints while maintaining the flexibility to innovate rapidly. We implemented Single Sign-On (SSO) integration to streamline user access across their entire ecosystem.
Technology Stack:
Frontend: Astro.js for optimal performance and SEO
Backend: WordPress as headless CMS
Security: Enterprise-grade protocols with SSO integration
Infrastructure: Scalable cloud architecture supporting millions of users
Results: Future-Proof Digital Foundation
The transformation delivered a cutting-edge website built on the world's most popular CMS platform, combining flexibility with enterprise-level security. Translink now operates with a future-proof digital infrastructure that supports their mission-critical transportation services while enabling rapid content updates and seamless user experiences.
The new system provides the scalability needed to support their growing user base while maintaining the security standards required for processing billions of transactions annually.
