ATLANTA and NOORDWIJK, The Netherlands, May 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Humanfigure Consulting, a Dutch consulting company specialized in coordinating, adapting, integrating and quantifying business processes, and Blue Ridge, the breakthrough platform that combines demand shaping for supply chain planning (SCP) and pricing optimization, announced a strategic partnership to deliver best-of-breed planning and pricing solutions crafted to avoid the long, risk-heavy experience of a large IT project.
The Partnership enables distribution, retail and manufacturing companies to configure and quickly roll out the supply chain technology components they need to solve their immediate business needs, rather than wait 18-24 months to realize value on the vendor’s terms. Together with the knowledge and skills of Humanfigure Consulting, companies realize quick added savings, service improvements and resiliency in their supply chains.
“Together with our clients, we work on "Providing Excellent Service and Realising Unbelievable Customer Experiences!" to their customers. Using the Blue Ridge solutions, our clients are able to realise this,” said Humafigure Consulting’s managing consultant, Werner van Keulen.
“In today’s disruptive supply chain, businesses must rethink the way they buy software; they can no longer afford the painful journey of a traditional enterprise ERP or WMS implementation,” said Maarten Baltussen, general manager – Europe, Blue Ridge. “Businesses need a frictionless path to a purpose-built technology that allows them to respond at the breakneck pace of market conditions that virtually change with the wind.”
The joint planning and pricing solution re-imagines business agility to supply chain unknowns such as product availability, lead times, inflation costs, seasonality, ecommerce/multi-channel demand and fulfillment logistics, and competitor pricing. Blue Ridge’s demand shaping for Supply Chain Planning and Pricing Optimization solutions accelerate margin growth by uniquely tying advanced pricing analytics into demand signals and inventory data. Now companies can plug into a low-risk, rapid-value data science stack that strategically optimizes prices – in lock step with inventory data and demand signals – to shape demand across all products, locations, channels and customers.
