- The focus on digital technologies that simplify customers’ complex supply chains has made Maersk boost its global warehousing and distribution services.
- The services are to be boosted by the deployment of JDA Software Inc.’s Warehouse Management solutions.
- The addition of JDA’s cloud-based solutions will expand the range and flexibility of its delivery services from existing “strategically located” warehouses by improving efficiency while lowering inventory costs.
- Maersk will initially deploy JDA Warehouse Management in Gothenburg, Sweden, and in the U.S. in Newark, NJ, and Santa Fe, NM, in Q4 this year.
Global shipping company, Maersk, has announced a partnership with US-based software giants, JDA Software, as part of its digital transformation strategy, reports Supply Chain Digital.
Customer colloboration
Maersk will be supported by JDA in its ambition to provide visibility throughout the supply chain in order to improve on-time performance, adapt to real-world disruptions and simplify its customer’s supply chains.
Maersk collaborates with customers with a simple offering of products and services, seamless customer engagement and a superior end-to-end delivery network, which takes the complexity out of global supply chains.
The shipping firm will initially roll out cloud-based JDA Warehouse Management at one of its Europe sites, Gothenburg, and the US, Newark and Santa Fe, with it set to develop the template for the global implementation across Maersk warehouse facilities later this year.
Simplification and enhanced performance
“‘Digital’ is no longer just a buzzword, today it is unlocking tremendous value for our logistics and warehouse customers in terms of simplification and better performance,” said Henning Goldman, Global Head of Warehousing and Distribution, Maersk.
He added, “JDA’s deep expertise and leading innovation are already creating competitive advantages for its customers. The addition of these exciting solutions to our portfolio is going to help Maersk continue offering our customers truly unique, end-to-end solutions.”
Maersk is set to drive improved performance and maintain a competitive edge through JDA Warehouse Management.
Warehouse operations across various niche
Through leveraging JDA Connect powered by MuleSoft, Maersk can now push new capabilities to customers easily without disruption and connect to all of its services.
