Kuehne+Nagel and Capgemini have entered into a strategic agreement to create an industry-leading supply chain orchestration service offering to provide end-to-end services across the supply chain network.
The new deal is the first of its kind in the market and combines Kuehne+Nagel’s logistics management and execution expertise with Capgemini’s state-of-the-art Intelligent Supply Chain Operations (ISCO) capabilities that deliver AI-enabled, cognitive, touchless operations and data-driven decision making.
Gianfranco Sgro, member of the management board of Kuehne+Nagel International AG, responsible for Contract and Integrated Logistics, commented, "Supply Chain Orchestration is the hot topic in our industry and is in higher demand than ever. Kuehne+Nagel and Capgemini share a common vision of innovation and client orientation."
Oliver Pfeil, CEO of Capgemini’s Business Services and member of group executive committee at Capgemini, said that "supply chain disruptions continue to pose new risks for businesses, so they are increasingly looking for tech-backed, comprehensive solutions that will enable them to navigate these disruptions and stay ahead of the curve."
According to Kuehne+Nagel, this will enable businesses to remain agile in the disruptive global ecosystem by creating resilient, efficient, and sustainable supply chain operations.
