Otto Int’l utilises TradeBeyond as new supply chain platform

Otto International, a sourcing and trading organisation, has announced that it has chosen TradeBeyond as its cutting-edge multi-enterprise supply chain platform.  

Otto International, a member of a prominent multi-brand retail business that includes well-known brands, plans to use TradeBeyond’s market-leading platform to improve its supply chain operations beginning this year.  

“We recognized the need for an interoperable supply chain platform in order to accommodate our global growth,” Otto International Chief Digital Officer Sven Jasper said.  

“TradeBeyond was the solution provider that most clearly understood the intricacies of our sourcing model and could best configure its software to our company. We’re excited to adopt a platform that will accommodate us long into the future.”

The order and quality modules from TradeBeyond CBX will be integrated during the first stage of implementation, with plans to expand to include a wider range of functionalities in the future.  

TradeBeyond will be used to optimise supply chain operations for a number of brands under Otto International, including clothing, footwear, home goods and more across more than 20 sourcing locations globally. 

“Otto International has long been an esteemed retail sourcing company, in part because of its ability to stay ahead of industry trends and to recognize the importance of digitalization,” TradeBeyond Senior Vice President Tim Chiu said.  

“It’s an honour to support this great company’s continued expansion during a period of changing business conditions that requires more agile and sustainable supply chains.”  

Otto International will be using TradeBeyond to unify its supply chain activities as the platform will make it easier to collaborate with suppliers and decrease reliance on various systems.
