GT Nexus and Capgemini Consulting in France recently announced that they have entered a strategic partnership to deliver a supply chain control tower to drive transformation in the manufacturing, life sciences, CPG and retail industries.
While GT Nexus continues to focus on the Americas, it has a significant presence in Europe
As a first step for this collaboration, the two companies will collaboratively work to provide customers, for their local and global needs, with new supply chain solutions, enabled by the GT Nexus technology platform,” said Mathieu Dougados, Senior Vice President Capgemini Consulting.
“Traditional hardwired solutions are not sufficient in today’s supply chains and as a result, businesses are struggling to transform their global operations at the right pace to meet the market’s demands and pressures. The key to supply chain transformation is visibility and agility, which are best achieved through a cloud-based network approach that ties together all parties in a single online ecosystem,” he added.
GT Nexus and Capgemini Consulting in France will deliver technology and services to enable hyper-connected supply chains that place all trading partners on a single network to enable end-to-end supply chain visibility.
“The concept of end-to-end supply chain visibility is increasingly viewed as a priority today, yet it remains an elusive vision due to lack of insights, tools and infrastructure at many global businesses,” said Gary Schneider, Senior Vice President of Strategic Alliances at GT Nexus. “A prerequisite is multi-enterprise connectivity, similar to the social media model, where parties are networked and visibility is made available to everyone who needs it.”
He added that Capgemini Consulting in France brings the unique insights and expertise to apply this networked model to supply chains across manufacturing, life sciences and retail to “break down barriers and enable true visibility.”
Earlier this year, Capgemini revealed industry views about the rapidly evolving retail landscape, including business challenges and opportunities in a detailed report.
The report is titled Are You Ready? How to Create an Always-On, Always-Open Shopping Experience.
