XPO Logistics

XPO Logistics is a global logistics company with over 86,000 employees and 1,425 locations across 34 countries. They built their Real Time Framework from the ground up using Elasticsearch to support their expanding truck brokerage and logistics business.

In this talk, Jason will share how a team of two with a vision for the future grew into a group of more than 30 engineers operating as the de-facto Elasticsearch Center of Excellence, and the resulting positive change in the relationship with their business counterparts. From getting booed and hit by flying objects, to applause and more responsibility, learn how a solid Elasticsearch architecture keeps them in lockstep with the business.
