Case Study: Gordon Food Service achieves faster, more flexible customer ordering with Valtech and Google Cloud

Gordon Food Service deploys features 8x a day with Valtech

Gordon Food Service, a major North American food distribution company, faced the challenge of modernizing its outdated and fragmented B2B customer ordering systems. Their on-premises applications could not keep pace with evolving customer expectations or new market competitors, and they needed a more agile digital strategy. To address this, Gordon Food Service partnered with vendor Valtech to build a new, streamlined ecommerce platform on Google Cloud Platform.

Valtech helped Gordon Food Service develop and deploy the new "Gordon Ordering" application using microservices on Google Kubernetes Engine in just 209 days. The solution enabled a continuous integration/continuous delivery model, dramatically accelerating innovation. The results were significant: the company now deploys new features an average of eight times daily instead of quarterly, and critical issues are resolved in under five hours. This has led to improved customer satisfaction, zero customer-facing downtime, and provided the company with a scalable, flexible platform for future growth.
