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.

"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."
