Carsome partners with Google Cloud for AI, cloud upgrade

Carsome, Southeast Asia’s largest car ecommerce platform, has announced a multi-year partnership with Google Cloud and Searce on Apr. 3.

This collaboration will move Carsome from a multicloud setup to a unified Google Cloud infrastructure, offering up to 30% cost savings and improved operational efficiency.

Searce will assist in the migration and implementation of Google Cloud services.

The partnership will enhance Carsome’s AI-driven services, including its pricing engine, customer service automation, and car inspection processes. It will also strengthen cybersecurity with Google Cloud’s Security Command Center.

By consolidating its cloud infrastructure, Carsome aims to accelerate digital application development, improving services for car buyers, sellers, and dealers.

The integration of first-party data will improve business intelligence and customer engagement.
