The Challenge

JOKR's success depends on accurate location services through Google Maps Platform for their AI-powered delivery app. As a premier service, Google Maps Platform requires considerable expertise to avoid cost overruns while ensuring optimal performance. The company needed to monitor costs closely while maintaining the personalized customer experience that drives their rapid delivery business.

The Solution

DoiT provided specialized guidance on Google Maps Platform performance and cost optimization. Tony Braun, DoiT's Location Services Specialist, helped JOKR optimize their usage of Geocoding API, Place Autocomplete, Mobile Dynamic Maps, Maps Javascript API, and Distance Matrix API. DoiT also provided rapid support for critical issues and guidance on technology choices across Google's product suite.

Results

  • Achieved 75% reduction in Google Maps Platform costs while maintaining quality customer experience
  • Received critical support within 20 minutes during urgent situations
  • Gained access to cross-platform expertise for Google Cloud, Google Maps, Google Workspace and Looker

Meet JOKR

JOKR is a rapid grocery delivery startup founded in 2021 that achieved remarkable growth, crossing the $100m annualized revenue run-rate mark in under ten months and reaching unicorn status by December 2021. With development teams in New York, Tel Aviv, Berlin and São Paolo, JOKR maximizes efficiency by running operations on Google Cloud and leveraging Software-as-a-Service solutions. The company's VP Technology Jens Wübbenhorst explains their approach: 'We try to use managed services as much as possible – with the idea in mind that there are people who have these technologies under control, so we don't need to run them on our own.'

Global Expansion with Optimized Costs

As JOKR focuses on the Latin American market where operations can be more cost-efficient, Google's global standardization capabilities have proven invaluable. The company doesn't need to build everything from scratch, instead leveraging Google's broad service portfolio. Jens notes the ongoing challenge: 'Finding the right tools and coming up with meaningful, scalable solutions traffic-wise and cost-wise is one of the big challenges. Google Cloud gives us a broad variety of services, and with DoiT as our partner, we can really make use of them.' This partnership has enabled JOKR to maintain their rapid delivery promise while operating efficiently across multiple markets.

What they say

Promptly

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

Extenda Retail

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

Monta

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

Wicked Reports

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

Blumira

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

TradeLocker

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

Reimagination Technologies

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.
