-- Afi Labs Cloud Services Inc today announced an expanded partnership with Google to resell Google Cloud and Google Maps Platform across North America and Asia, with a focus on transportation and logistics. Founded in 2013 out of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, the Singapore and Vancouver based firm has built award winning software on Google Maps for hundreds of businesses worldwide.
"Google Maps has helped companies move people and packages faster, more efficiently, and with greater visibility," said CEO Afian Anwar. "For any business, especially in logistics, working with a specialized Google Maps Partner like Afi Labs means direct access to engineers who understand the industry, plus best-in-class support backed by Google's own Maps engineers and specialists.”
“The Proforce Route Planner cut our fuel use by 22% per appointment and lets our technicians fit in up to four extra stops a day,” said Mark Shorr, CEO of Proforce Pest Control, a technology-driven home-services company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. “It started with a single LinkedIn message to Afi Labs. They understood the problem immediately, and together we built the solution on Google Maps Platform's Route Optimization API.”
"Our legacy routing system couldn't keep up with how our business was growing, so we turned to Afi Labs. In just a few months, they built us an automated route planner on the Google Maps Route Optimization API and integrated it with our existing workflows. What sets them apart is the combination of deep Google Maps expertise and a real understanding of last mile logistics. We're now partnering with them to roll the platform out across Switzerland and the EU," said Felipe Barakat, CEO of OVO, a bike delivery company based in Geneva, Switzerland.
Afi Labs' work with OVO won first place at the inaugural Google Maps Platform Awards. Alongside its Partner status, Afi Labs maintains one of the industry's most comprehensive independent technical resources for Google Maps Platform developers at blog.afi.io.
