The Challenge

A global logistics company operated data centers supporting real-time tracking of 15 million packages daily. The company faced pressure from e-commerce partners to reduce supply chain carbon footprint, including data center operations. Peak shipping seasons created 8x demand spikes that required maintaining significant overcapacity year-round.

The Solution

Helios implemented logistics-aware energy optimization that aligned data center operations with shipping patterns. The platform deployed predictive scaling based on package volume forecasts, eliminating the need for constant overcapacity. Carbon tracking integration enabled accurate Scope 3 emissions reporting for e-commerce partners.
