Cutting-edge technologies are revolutionizing the way we interact with and manage networks today. What does that mean for network engineers? Some believe these advanced tools might eliminate the need for their role, but we don’t see it that way.
In this session, we discuss why the full potential of these advanced tools can only be realized when coupled with solutions grounded in fundamental truths rather than transient trends.

GoBolt is one of the fastest-growing third-party logistics (3PL) providers offering “pick and pack” and last-mile delivery services for more than 30,000 orders per week out of their 13 locations across North America, totaling more than 1.2 million square feet of warehouse space.

Since switching to Meter, Heindrik says they’ve had, “zero unscheduled downtime. Working with our previous IT company, we had regular outages. Every hour we’re down costs us and our merchants in lost sales, upset customers, and brand reputation. The time-to-fix was multiplied by how many people had to have their hands in the pie.” Compared to that experience, working with Meter was simply a matter of reporting their total square footage and location addresses and Meter took it from there.

In the end, for Heindrik and GoBolt, it came down to the simplicity of working with Meter. Says Heindrik, “Meter is stupid simple. They embody what you’ve always expected from the incumbents but they never quite delivered.”
