August 2022

Food tech company leverages DoiT expertise to migrate to Google Cloud with zero downtime and significant cost savings

$3,000: Daily cost savings identified
2,000+: Orders handled daily per restaurant

“DoiT has a broader view on how companies are successfully leveraging new cloud technologies, so it can offer deep expertise to help us use best practices in deploying the many different services we use. As DoiT consultants are the experts, they can help us to get the most cost-effective use from Google Cloud.”
Olivier Loverde
CTO, Innovorder

The Challenge

Innovorder needed to migrate to Google Cloud to access serverless and managed services for handling variable restaurant traffic. With a small DevOps team, they required expert support for complex cluster migrations and multicloud networking challenges while maintaining zero downtime for critical client services.

The Solution

DoiT provided cloud migration expertise and best practices guidance. The partnership accelerated infrastructure projects from weeks to days, enabled seamless cluster migrations with zero downtime, and implemented cost monitoring with anomaly detection to prevent billing surprises.

Results

Reduced complex migration projects from 2 weeks to 2 days with DoiT expertise
Achieved zero downtime during critical messaging cluster migration
Prevented $30,000+ monthly overspend through automated cost anomaly detection
Accelerated elimination of infrastructure points of failure at no extra cost

Meeting the demands of modern dining

Innovorder has been at the forefront of restaurant technology innovation since 2014. The Paris-based company develops software solutions that empower restaurants, mass caterers, and F&B sector clients to deliver exceptional customer experiences. Working with midsized to large restaurant chains and heavyweight catering operators, Innovorder's solutions serve around 1% of the French population daily. During COVID-19, they helped burger chain Quick pivot to online ordering within one week when physical stores closed.

Migrating to Google Cloud for serverless scalability

Innovorder's platform covers everything from loyalty programs and online payments to innovative smart fridges. With demand fluctuating throughout the day during lunch rushes and dinner service, they decided to migrate key services to Google Cloud to leverage SaaS and serverless tools. Using Google Kubernetes Engine for autoscaling and Cloud Functions for serverless computing, they can handle very high order volumes. Their Firestore-powered multiscreen ticket solution enables fast-paced Paris restaurants to process over 2,000 orders daily.

Expert guidance accelerates complex projects

DoiT's expertise proved invaluable for Innovorder's complex infrastructure challenges. One of their first projects involved creating a bridge between Google Cloud and another cloud provider using Terraform. Thanks to DoiT's advice, what would have taken two weeks was completed in two days. DoiT also helped migrate messaging clusters from in-house to automatic deployment without any downtime, critical for clients who rely on Innovorder's services all day, every day.

Cost optimization through intelligent monitoring

Beyond time savings, DoiT helps Innovorder optimize costs through intelligent monitoring. The cost anomaly detection feature identified a misconfiguration costing $3,000 daily that could have resulted in $30,000+ monthly overspend if discovered at month-end. DoiT's Cloud Management Platform provides unified cost tracking across all cloud providers, enabling Innovorder to quickly identify and correct billing issues with DoiT and Google Cloud support.

Building resilient infrastructure for international growth

The partnership has enabled Innovorder to focus on speed while building more resilient infrastructure. They've successfully eliminated points of failure and empowered developers, achieving their migration goals at no extra cost thanks to DoiT's zero-cost model. With DoiT's ongoing support, Innovorder maintains a small development team while doubling growth annually and preparing for international expansion.

Story overview

What they say

DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.

Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly

DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.

Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail

When we started working with DoiT, we deployed Flexsave to save time and reduce complexity. We still use it today. But what really stands out is the expert support. Having someone to collaborate with on deep cloud cost topics, someone who really understands the nuances, is incredibly valuable.

Jesper Terkelsen, CTO at Monta

DoiT's Cloud Accelerator turned our AI idea into a shipped product, saving at least three months of development and delivering reliable, explainable insights our customers trust.

Scott Desgrosseilliers, CEO and co-founder, Wicked Reports

DaySmart

Working with DoiT gave us the speed of a startup and the rigor of an enterprise R&D lab. We launched an AI feature in ninety days with zero engineering lift, unified our cloud visibility across multiple products and built a foundation to scale AI responsibly.

Tim Green, SVP of AI, DaySmart

Our AWS environment had grown rapidly, and complexity was outpacing control. DoiT helped us bring structure and clarity, aligning financial and technical decisions through a shared foundation.

Maurizio Trezzi, Director of IT, Vivaticket

DoiT gives us contextual insight into what's happening in our cloud environment. That helps us ensure we're meeting customer needs while managing our costs. It's that central pane of glass that lets engineering and finance work together, powered by the technology and backed by DoiT's people.

Matt Warner, Co-Founder and CEO at Blumira

For anyone considering DoiT: do it. The tools pay for themselves. We've reduced costs, improved visibility, and built a platform that can scale globally with control and confidence.

Matej Serbec, CTO, TradeLocker

DoiT didn't just give us a product – they gave us clarity. Cloud Diagrams has helped our teams understand what we're running, why we're running it, and where we can improve. The real-time visibility is a game changer for engineering, leadership, and everything in between.

Donnie Green, VP of Platform Engineering, Bloomerang

Sentric Music

With maybe 5-10 minutes, Ava had guided me right down into the low-level detail of the services that we were running in our compute environment, named the exact instances that were starting to chew through our money, produced a report for me that showed that this was almost a direct correlation to the cost growth that we were seeing, which meant that we were able to get on top of it pretty much immediately.

Stephen Roughley, Head of Engineering at Sentric Music

Atadex

With DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ managing our procurement and DoiT's engineers acting as an extension of my team, my costs are down, my efficiency is up, and my profitability is up

Mitch Bernet, Founder and CEO at Atadex

Skyral

A key takeaway for me working with DoiT is that the level of professionalism is extremely high. They're an obvious choice if you're looking for a partner to help implement best practices in your cloud environment and reduce cost.

Oliver Young, Senior Technical Manager at Skyral

We knew WhatsApp was the perfect channel for global remittances, but building secure, real-time conversations across languages was a massive challenge. DoiT helped us break through. They didn't just advise, they helped us architect and launch a GenAI solution that's 100x more powerful than what we had. We're now in a completely different league.

Jaime Gonzalez-Gasque, CEO, Reimagination Technologies
