In Short
- The company now has stores in more than 90 locations worldwide with its headquarters in Stockholm.
- 300+ Google Workspace Accounts.
- Global retailer, Happy Socks, uses Google Workspace (before G Suite) to stay connected, collaborate more efficiently, and innovate faster across locations around the world.
We’ve seen a 600% increase in the use of Google Meet, and now I see it’s good to have it already, especially when extreme measures fall into place so fast. We recently had a videoconference with 160-170 in a call. It all works perfectly.

Its loyal fan-base and international presence continue to grow with their vibrant and colourful collection of socks, swimwear and underwear.
The Problem
The IT team at Happy Socks reached out to Devoteam G Cloud to enlist their expertise in providing the best practices for the use of Google Workspace collaboration tools.
Before contact, Happy Socks purchased licenses directly from Google, but users were experiecing issues with crossover functionalities between old and new software and required training for both admin and end-users within the company.
The Goal
Allow for collaboration on a bigger scale across different geographic locations while maintaining top levels of efficiency.
The Solution
In the initial meeting, Devoteam G Cloud presented a services portfolio, and it was decided to move forward with the Google Workspace training.
The client went Google Workspace directly with Google but realised they needed a premier partner with more value. We gave them training for admin and end-users, but also delivered Google Meet hardware conference system. We are also helping them with Google Cloud Platform.
