Craig and Mark discuss GoBolt's growth, merging fulfillment with last-mile delivery, sustainability initiatives with an EV fleet, and innovative technology that enhances real-time tracking, cost-effectiveness, and customer satisfaction, positioning the company as a leader in retail logistics.

Craig and Mark Ang, CEO at GoBolt, discuss the company’s impressive journey from a consumer storage startup to a leading logistics company, offering fulfillment and last-mile delivery solutions for retailers. Ang highlights the company’s pivot in 2019, transitioning into logistics and scaling rapidly across Canada and the U.S., with over 1.5 million square feet of operations in 10 markets.

 

GoBolt’s unique approach combines technology and operations to offer seamless visibility into package tracking, enhancing both retailer and customer experiences. The company’s proprietary technology enables real-time tracking and operational efficiency, while its flexible service model allows retailers to choose fulfillment or last-mile delivery à la carte. Ang also emphasizes GoBolt’s commitment to sustainability with its EV fleet, reducing carbon emissions and improving delivery safety and cost-effectiveness.

 

Looking ahead, GoBolt is poised for continued growth, with plans to expand into new markets by 2025. As Ang explains, GoBolt’s innovative solutions, including real-time tracking and customer-focused delivery options, are driving success for major brands like Frank and Oak. With a focus on technology and sustainability, GoBolt is positioning itself as a leader in the evolving logistics landscape.
