Meaningful personalization and reaching the right customers at scale are key challenges facing retailers and brands engaging a modern customer base that is mobile and always connected. It is now common to see major retail and e-commerce operations running entirely in the cloud. Brands that fall short on intelligent digital distribution quickly see nimble competitors emerge. Google’s global infrastructure provides unmatched scale to run e-commerce operations alongside advanced analytics to deliver true personalization, with world-class security to protect your business.
Scale to Always-Mobile,
Always-Connected Customers
Customers today engage on their own terms. Regardless of device, part of day, or bandwidth, users expect to browse rich imagery and video instantaneously with no lag. Failing to scale under load and fluctuating usage patterns means missed revenue, lost customers, and damage to brands. Whether you're supporting thousands or tens of millions of customers, Google Cloud Platform scales up efficiently to meet seasonal demand, and scales back automatically when things quiet down.
Achieve Personalization
with Google-grade Analytics
Understanding precise purchase flows and history is key to gauging shopper interest, driving engagement, and successful upsell — and more importantly, to building long-term customer relationships. Logging is just the beginning: modern businesses rely on powerful analytics focused on ease of querying and speed, all without having to manage any underlying infrastructure. Analytics at web-scale has been Google’s focus from the early days. Cloud Platform surfaces the same big data and machine learning technology used at Google so you can make blazing-fast queries into anonymized, fine-grained customer behavior to better serve them.
Protect Private Information
Privacy and end-to-end security are critical to customers trusting the shopping experience. Cloud Platform has been validated for compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) along with a host of other compliance measures and integrated, pervasive security. Hosting and operating the most popular digital applications on the Internet, Google is no stranger to security and privacy, making Cloud Platform an ideal place for brands to serve modern shoppers.
