RV rental marketplace Outdoorsy selected Google Cloud as its platform for growth and global scale. Under this agreement, Outdoorsy will leverage Google Cloud’s secure, global and low-latency infrastructure to support its growing user base and to expand the availability of its services internationally, the company said.
Outdoor travel has soared over the past 18 months during the pandemic, with millions of travelers opting for road trips, recreational vehicle outings, camping and more. Outdoorsy said it benefited from this exploding interest, posting 145 percent growth in bookings over the past year.
Outdoorsy said that as the trend toward outdoor experiences continues to accelerate, it will leverage capabilities including Google Kubernetes Engine, security services, BigQuery, cloud-native analytics, and AI and machine learning to power personalized consumer recommendations and dynamic pricing. Outdoorsy’s goal is to create a 360-degree view of online and offline customer experiences in the great outdoors.
“People are embracing outdoor travel at unprecedented levels, and we’re delighted to partner with Google Cloud to address this explosive consumer demand,” said Ryan Quinn, co-founder of Outdoorsy. “Google Cloud’s infrastructure will power Outdoorsy’s global expansion and, importantly, this means we will run on the industry’s cleanest cloud, reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring a sustainable approach to growth.”
