Dematic and Google Cloud team up to bolster supply chain innovation

Dematic has announced a partnership with Google Cloud to transform the supply chain industry through accelerated cloud innovation.

Dematic said it aims to bolster supply chain resiliency and deliver go-to-market solutions by combining its supply chain expertise with Google Cloud’s cutting-edge cloud, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies.

The partners will join forces to leverage shared learnings that will drive rapid cloud innovation. By migrating Dematic’s offerings to the cloud and introducing AI and ML, Dematic said it will improve customers’ supply chain execution.

“This partnership is a continuation of our invaluable collaboration with the Google Cloud team, whose keen interest in helping us build and test the next generation of warehouse management solutions makes this alliance a perfect match for our growth strategy,” said Dee Cusack, Chief Technology Officer at Dematic.

“Through this partnership we are helping our customers advance their positions in the industry,” Cusack said.

“We value Google Cloud’s drive for innovation and commitment to reimagining our customer solutions as we make our own transition to the cloud. We’re excited to start the next chapter of our business together,” she said.

The partnership will allow Dematic to develop and deploy a range of solutions, including eCommerce and omnichannel fulfillment, and control tower applications for key vertical markets including General Merchandise, Grocery, Apparel, and Food and Beverage.

“Google Cloud is committed to helping organisations across the supply chain address the rapidly-evolving needs and expectations of customers, suppliers, and fulfillment centers with cloud technology,” said Kirsten Kliphouse, President, North America at Google Cloud.

“We’re pleased to partner with Dematic to provide customers with innovative solutions and technologies that will help them quickly address changes across the industry and that support their digital transformation goals,” Kliphouse said.

With Google Cloud, Dematic said its customers will be able to create a more sustainable supply chain by leveraging data to understand efficiencies to be gained in areas such as operations, planning, labor and inventory.
