Every day, millions of people around the globe benefit from what we do. If you ride the bus in a major city or receive a parcel delivery, then one of those people could well be you.
We are GIRO. Our software products optimize public transport and postal services around the world.
From our base in Montréal, we have been helping our clients keep their operations efficient, cost-effective and attractive to customers for 40 years. Today, our products and services are making a difference in more than 25 countries.
A Culture of Innovation
We started as a small team spun off from a university research project. Innovation has always been our raison d’être. Now, more than 500 strong, we co-innovate with our clients to help them navigate the profound changes underway in the public transit and postal industries.
We allocate a third of our resources to R&D, and we have always maintained close ties with universities and research institutes. Our software tools incorporate the latest advancements from operations research.
Exciting Times Ahead
Deep learning, the subset of AI allowing software to train itself to perform tasks, holds great promise for GIRO’s software tools. It opens the door to the software being able to teach itself to improve its optimization capabilities and better supporting decision-making.
Our partnership for research into deep learning with the Institute for Data Valorization (IVADO) is just one example of innovative collaboration as we prepare for the exciting road ahead. Our software already tackles the complexities of scheduling and operating public transport with electric buses. Other technological innovations, from autonomous vehicles to drones, will transform the delivery of public transport and postal services. We are up for the challenge!
