GT Nexus to provide platform for HP supply chain

GT Nexus will assist HP global operations in transforming their supply chain, according to a company statement. Under the terms of the agreement, GT Nexus will provide HP with global supply chain visibility and a control platform, delivered as a networked, multi-enterprise solution in the cloud.

"We partnered with GT Nexus because of their leadership in bringing supply chain business processes and data flows together in the cloud," said Tony Prophet, Senior Vice President PPS Operations for HP. "Cloud-enabled agile networks will be a core element of our continuing supply chain transformation."

GT Nexus will connect the HP network of logistics providers and suppliers across four continents to a single source of supply chain information about orders, inventory, shipments and documents.

Transportation control layer capabilities will help HP coordinate among regional 3PLs to optimize inventory flows and consolidate shipments. The new capabilities will support initiatives designed to facilitate direct shipping to customers, transportation spend reduction and inventory fulfillment.

As the largest technology company in the world, HP has operations in approximately 170 countries and over 320,000 employees. Every sixty seconds, HP delivers 4 servers, 120 PCs and 100 printers to customers around the world.
