Postal distribution software specialist Giro celebrates 35 years of innovation
GIRO, which specializes in the development and implementation of software solutions for the postal distribution industries and public transit, is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Founded in Montreal in 1979, the company, which arose out of a university project, has become a global leader in its fields of expertise. Over the years, GIRO has developed unique expertise that combines software engineering with the application of advanced optimization techniques. The company designs high-performance software to enable major transport and distribution organizations to offer better customer service while reducing operating costs.
One of its key products is GeoRoute – a planning software used by postal operators and courier and express companies across the world. The software offers a solution specifically designed in collaboration with postal operations and boasts an enviable record for improving efficiency, reducing costs, and raising productivity, often in a context of major service changes. Organizations achieve cost savings of up to 5% for mail delivery and 15% for vehicle-based operations such as parcel delivery.
“We’re very proud to be celebrating this major milestone this year,” said Paul Hamelin, GIRO’s president. “We owe the success of these 35 years primarily to our employees, who now number 300 and who continue to work with the same commitment to meet our clients’ needs. They are the key to our success,” he adds.
