Strategic integration of Google’s cutting-edge technologies drives efficiency and sustainability for logistics leader
TORONTO, Ontario – March 18, 2025 – GoBolt, a leader in sustainable logistics solutions, is partnering with Google Cloud to optimize operations and enhance its commitment to environmental responsibility. Through this collaboration, GoBolt is leveraging a suite of tools to achieve its goals of increased efficiency and reduced emissions.
Since the start of this partnership in 2020, GoBolt has seen a 7,600% growth in delivery volume. In 2024, GoBolt was completing over 50,000 last-mile appointments per day, with over 40% being completed on electric vehicles, emphasizing their dedication to sustainability. Their partnership with Google Cloud supports GoBolt’s mission through the strategic integration of several Google technologies:
- Data-Driven Sustainability Insights: GoBolt uses Looker to democratize data across the organization by building operational dashboards and product analytics that track delivery performance and identify growth opportunities. For example, they are creating Scope 3 emission reports for their customers.
- Scalable and Secure Customer Data Management: Using Google Cloud’s secure platform, GoBolt manages customer data with high availability, scalability, and robust security.
- Google Play Console: GoBolt uses the Console for publishing and managing the Android version of GoBolt’s driver app, a cornerstone of their logistics platform. This app connects drivers with real-time delivery instructions and route optimization, ensuring timely and accurate deliveries. Through the Console, GoBolt can also efficiently roll out updates that improve the app’s performance and user experience, directly impacting operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
- Geocoding Application Programming Interface (API): By leveraging latitude and longitude data via Google’s Geocoding API, GoBolt is able to build the most efficient and shortest routes possible. By maximizing the number of packages delivered and decreasing the distance travelled on a route, GoBolt is able to reduce delivery emissions. Using Google’s Geocoding API has helped GoBolt reduce distance travelled by nearly 20%.
- Optimized Infrastructure for Agile Applications: GoBolt uses Google Kubernetes Engine to orchestrate containerized applications, which means they are managing how their applications are deployed, scaled, and updated, enabling flexible and scalable infrastructure. This includes fleet management, maps, and maintenance. Google Kubernetes Engine has helped enable GoBolt’s rapid scale across 3 lines of business and into 10+ regions across North America.
- Data-Powered Decision-Making for Sustainable Growth: GoBolt harnesses BigQuery’s power to analyze vast data volumes, extracting valuable insights that drive strategic decision-making. BigQuery is a fully managed, AI-ready data analytics platform that helps you maximize value from your data and is designed to be multi-engine, multi-format, and multi-cloud.
- Gemini for Google Workspace: Google Workspace connects employees and ensures seamless collaboration across the company. Gemini’s functionality within Google Workspace enhances productivity by streamlining artifact preparation, speeding up deliverables, and reducing administrative overhead. For instance, they use Gemini to quickly generate polished reports and presentations.
