What the company needed

Petcube designs and builds innovative pet companion devices to help pet owners monitor and interact with their pets while away from home.

When COVID-19 lockdowns began, the company—like so many across industries—needed to reduce operational expenses to ensure business continuity.

After auditing its own operations, Petcube determined there was a lot of potential for cost savings in its cloud infrastructure—it just needed help achieving those savings.

Our recommendation

Due to Redapt’s strong relationship with GCP, we determined the platform would be an ideal partner to help Petcube reduce costs. Working with Petcube, we helped the company secure a mutually beneficial agreement with GCP that not only helped keep the company afloat but strengthened its partnership with the cloud provider.

The end result

By quickly putting the credits to work, Petcube was able to create a vital runway for its operations to continue during the lockdown:

  • Substantial expense reduction in cloud costs through a new GCP contract
  • Breathing room to continue operations until the vital holiday shopping season arrived
  • Stronger partnership with GCP and Redapt going forward
