Intermarché and Netto tap Symphony RetailAI supply chain tech
Les Mousquetaires owned retailers Intermarché and Netto have announced a supply chain transformation partnership with Symphony RetailAI, covering the likes of forecasting accuracy, inventory and replenishment and improved store productivity.
"Today we are entering into a strategic partnership that resulted from an 18 month collaboration and a detailed analysis of our capacity to support and accelerate the digital transformation of Intermarché and Netto," says Arnaud Gauthier, President, CCO, International, Symphony RetailAI.
"We are now equipping Intermarché and Netto with the ability to address key end-to-end capabilities that span all areas of their retail enterprise, including upstream and downstream activities along the commercial and logistics value chain."
Operating as both manufacturers and retailers, Intermarché, Netto and their networks have a wealth of data, from production to sale. According to a press release: “Symphony RetailAI’s AI-based technologies will enable a 360-degree view of this data, leveraging it much more efficiently, and driving all aspects of the supply chain with greater agility.”
"You have to be able to anticipate the precise expectations of each customer and the exact needs of each point of sale in order to meet demand and to deliver maximum fluidity and reliability. It is essential to manage the supply chain from end-to-end, with great flexibility and responsiveness,” says Jean-Michel Balaguer, STIME President, CTO, Groupement Les Mousquetaires, Intermarché entrepreneur, and Région Centre Est administrator.
"This is exactly what the AI-based technologies from Symphony RetailAI bring us. We will be able to accelerate our strategic transformation by unifying purchasing, finance, replenishment, and logistics processes, considering customer preferences across a common platform.”
“The retail business expertise and long-term vision of Symphony RetailAI convinced us that it is the right partner to support us in this vast transformation project,” he concludes.
