Case Study: Hire1 achieves 50% faster development and streamlined deliveries with Google Cloud Platform (Google Maps Platform)

Hire1 delivering automated courier and trucking services with Google Maps

Hire1, a Sri Lanka–based logistics technology company founded in 2015, set out to solve the complexity businesses face when using multiple couriers, truckers and freight forwarders—difficulty tracking shipments and understanding true costs—by building a unified platform to book, track and manage all delivery and transportation services.

Using Google Maps Platform (Maps JavaScript API, Directions and Distance Matrix APIs, Maps SDK for Android) with support from partner MediaAgility, Hire1 launched web and mobile apps that provide real‑time tracking, accurate price quotations and optimized routing. The solution cut development time by 50%, let just 20 drivers serve all customers through efficient dispatching, and accelerated feature delivery while improving customer acquisition and retention.
