挑战
Kowalski Sausage Company faced significant challenges with their previous outsourced routing solution. The lack of control and transparency in their routing and dispatch operations led to inefficiencies and communication issues. The company needed a more efficient routing and dispatch solution that provided complete access and visibility. Their raw and prepared foods required refrigeration during transport, making on-time service vital. The company operated a fleet of ten trucks, delivering to about 500 grocery stores, convenience stores, distributors, and warehouse clubs across Michigan and Ohio. They needed a solution that could handle the complexity of their delivery schedules and ensure timely deliveries.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.
