Cloud Cost Optimisation (Logistics)
Multi-cloud cost governance across AWS and GCP for a logistics company — tagging strategy, reserved instance planning, and waste elimination saving $320K annually.

The Challenge
A logistics company running services across both AWS and Google Cloud Platform had no centralized visibility into cloud spending. Development teams were launching un-tagged instances, and orphaned volumes and staging databases were running constantly, causing severe budget overruns.
Our Solution
We implemented a cloud cost governance framework. We enforced strict resource tagging, automated the teardown of idle resources, migrated data warehouses to query-efficient models, and negotiated multi-year Savings Plans and Reserved Instances.
