Global consultancy Kearney has partnered with cognitive automation software company, Aera Technology, to improve enterprise agility and resilience for retail companies worldwide.
Kearney’s ‘Sense and Pivot’ supply chain management solution helps companies adapt to demand volatility and evolving expectations in an unpredictable operating environment. It enables a near real-time view of the market, improved cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to offer intelligent trade-off decisions between cost, service, and working capital. Through the partnership, Kearney’s solution will be integrated into Aera Technology’s cloud-based Cognitive Operating System™, further improving the speed and agility of decision-making in supply chains.
“It’s never been more important for supply chains to be both resilient and agile – while effectively balancing cost, service and capital informed by risk and time to react,” said Bahige El-Rayes partner at Kearney. “We’re thrilled to be working with Aera Technology to help retail companies meet demand surges and improve productivity with real-time tracking and simulation.”
“We’ve worked with the world’s largest organizations to demonstrate the value of cognitive automation at scale,” said Frederic Laluyaux, CEO of Aera Technology. “By integrating Kearney’s supply chain capabilities with Aera’s proven Cognitive Operating System™, we are excited to extend this to an even wider range of companies with our strategic partnership with Kearney.”
“Kearney’s incredible leadership, breadth, and depth of expertise and experience will accelerate time to value of cognitive automation in the supply chain and beyond,” he added.
