Google Cloud and Gurgaon-based car tech company Park+ have partnered to enable Park+ with the integration of open source software needs and other Google Cloud offerings including Cloud SQL, Google Kubernetes Engine, Anthos and Global Load Balancer.
With the public cloud software constantly evolving, Park+ is leveraging the power of open-source services on Google Cloud to build custom integrations and dashboards or orchestration pipelines without any hassle of maintenance. Park+ is developing solutions with next-generation ML and AI capabilities for a unique digital and conversational commerce experience for its customers.
Park+ has been using Google solutions since the inception of their company, including Google Analytics, Firebase, Google AdMob, and now Google Cloud. As hardcore open-source enthusiasts, the team was thrilled to see the out-of-the-box integration of the open-source software they use, which made Google Cloud an immediate choice for them. The latency of their applications decreased by more than 12% from 100ms to 88ms. They anticipate saving more than 900 hours in a year, which they previously invested in maintaining and managing open-source infrastructure.

With a presence in over 20 cities, Park+ dominates the Indian market as the largest distributor of FASTags and access control systems, boasting an extensive inventory of parking slots throughout the country.
