Google Cloud will support Hepsiburada's growth with a reliable and secure platform to upgrade its IT capabilities and applications. By migrating to Google Cloud, Hepsiburada will operate in a trusted cloud providing built-in technology to further protect applications and end users. Hepsiburada will use Google Cloud's Big Query platform to leverage data and insights and identify customers' needs more precisely, improving its data driven decision-making environment. 

Boosting Efficiency For Customers

Google Cloud's expertise in analytics and machine learning will support Hepsiburada as it develops a robust demand forecasting system, enabling the ability to identify supplier lead and estimated delivery times more precisely. This will result in a more efficient supply chain structure for the company.

Gurkan Coskuner, Chief Technology Officer of Hepsiburada said: "As one of the early pioneers of digitalization of commerce and a leading e-commerce platform of Turkey, we are delighted to deepen our collaboration with one of the world's leading technology companies.

"This collaboration will not only help to increase the scope of services available on the Hepsiburada platform as we continue to drive the digitalization of commerce in Turkey, but it will also offer us greater flexibility and speed around those moments of peak demand. The collaboration is also aligned with our focus on using data and insights to deliver the right products to our customers at the right time, as well as accurate forecasting to strengthen our supply chain."

Onder Guler, Google Cloud Country Manager Turkey said; "Hepsiburada has been one of the major players transforming the retail experience in Turkey as it caters to 33 million members across the country. Following its debut in Nasdaq in July this year as the first Turkish IPO, Hepsiburada is set on its largest digital transformation plan to date and has selected Google Cloud as the cloud provider for this journey- as with growth comes the requirement for a robust infrastructure".

"Google Cloud is a trusted cloud for retailers. This is because of our pioneering zero-trust architecture which provides retailers with high security, combined with more than a decade of experience managing and securing cloud applications at a global scale. We are collaborating with Hepsiburada to support their ambitious growth plans, through providing the security, flexibility and scalability needed that will enable them to penetrate more market segments and transform into a global retailer."
