Mark Ang, the CEO and co-founder of GoBolt, has emerged as a change-maker in e-commerce logistics in Canada.
Ang joined Marc Kirshenbaum, executive vice-president with Colliers’ Brokerage operations in Toronto, to explore GoBolt's origins and growth as it leverages smart tech and electric delivery strategies.
Ang, who co-founded the company while a student at the University of Toronto, dishes on the journey GoBolt has taken to integrate technology and sustainability into e-commerce delivery and logistics, while also discussing with Kirshenbaum how demand from tech-forward logistics companies like GoBolt is causing shifts in the national warehousing/industrial market.
As a tech-enabled logistics provider catering to local e-commerce shops as well as national and international brands, GoBolt places a strong emphasis on reducing the carbon footprint of last-mile delivery while boosting the amount of delivery data available for both clients and customers.
