Aptean’s Acquisition of Logility to Deliver End-to-End Planning Experience

By: via Business Wire

Unlock exponential supply chain management success from factory floor to last mile delivery.

Aptean, a global provider of AI first, mission critical enterprise software applications, and Logility, a leader in AI driven supply chain management software applications are excited to bring an innovative set of combined capabilities to the market. The combination will give customers access to a true end-to-end supply chain management experience, representing a milestone for the industry and customer value.

“This powerful combination of applications which heavily leverage AI will further accelerate the development of transformational capabilities, enhance scalability, and enable customers to more quickly build competitive advantage in rapidly changing markets,” said TVN Reddy, CEO of Aptean.

Aptean and Logility serve a common set of industries with complementary technologies that together will:

  • Accelerate and improve decision making, with software that translates disjointed data and process information into actionable business insights
  • Transform operations with cloud-based, AI-first capabilities that let companies move from “what happened” to “what’s coming”
  • Deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end planning experience

“The synergies between Aptean’s and Logility’s capabilities represent a tremendous amount of opportunity,” said Allan Dow, President and CEO of Logility. “Whether that’s combining factory floor and manufacturing execution systems (MES) capabilities to optimize last-mile delivery or connecting network optimization with transportation planning to reduce costs and improve on time in full (OTIF), we see endless opportunities to deliver more value to clients today, while also giving them first-mover access to technologies that are changing the way work gets done. We couldn’t be more excited about what this partnership will bring.”
