Logility to acquire supply chain network design provider Starboard
Summary
According to its website, Traverse City, Michigan-based Starboard provides its digital twinning software platform to companies such as Deloitte, Porsche and JLL. “Joining forces with a proven leader in supply chain planning technology like Logility is a natural extension of that goal.” Starboard’s solution is designed for the future. Logility intends to combine the solution with its own Digital Supply Chain Platform to power planning with a view toward the future. Not only will this allow operators to model the impact future disruptions might have on their supply chains, but they also can test what adding a new distribution center or rerouting from a different port might look like. “Now more than ever, supply chain leaders need solutions to help them see around the corner, plan for plausible changes and quickly pivot to keep their businesses moving forward,” said Allan Dow, president of Logility.
