The company’s fast-paced expansion was putting huge pressure on its existing platform, which was designed for a domestic scope. The platform was not scalable or flexible enough to accommodate Glovo’s rapid international growth. The start-up needed an experienced and dynamic partner to accompany it on its digital journey.
Glovo, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, was founded in 2015 as a digital-native company. It operates in 20 countries in Europe and Africa, delivering groceries and other urban conveniences, from medicines to keys, in 30 minutes. It has ambitious growth plans in what is a highly-competitive marketplace.
To keep up its growth momentum and create market differentiation, Glovo is opening up in a large number of countries, including Moldova, Kyrgyzstan and Uganda. It therefore needed a partner with a large global footprint, which it found with Orange.
Our partnership with Orange Business supports our rapid growth strategy, enabling us to bring on board new countries and cities quickly, simplifying overall management and driving down costs. The solution was delivered in four months, and we are extremely happy with it. As a result, we are seeing up to a 40% savings on our overall voice budget.
