In this day in age, packages can’t arrive soon enough. Delivery speeds, convenience and a host of other customer expectations are changing the landscape of the supply chain, transforming it into a digital, connected and automated process. The cloud is playing an increasingly important role as the supply chain tries to handle new business models, stressed traditional logistics systems and deconsolidating networks resulting from same-day delivery, increased order volumes, and mobility. In an effort to empower companies worldwide across the supply chain, HighJump has announces its HighJump initiative, available on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace to Oracle Cloud customers.
“Supply chains of all sizes are challenged by consumer demands for purchasing convenience, delivery speed, choice and flexibility,” says Sean Elliott, chief technology officer at HighJump. “HighJump is empowering companies to exceed these expectations – combining the unique adaptability, control and scalability of our on-premise offerings with the cloud to evolve supply chains for the needs of today and tomorrow.”
“ARC is a big believer in the cloud for warehousing and logistics,” adds Steve Banker, vice president of supply chain management at ARC. “With the speed to value and total cost of ownership advantages, HighJump’s relationship with Oracle is very significant in bringing the benefits of the cloud to companies in markets and industries worldwide.”
HighJump Now builds on HighJump’s existing cloud capabilities and expertise, providing a comprehensive cloud-based solution portfolio for supply chain management. Along with advanced data analytics and warehouse control, HighJump Now will provide a foundation for new, complex technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, IoT and machine learning in a secure cloud environment. This allows efficient management and integration of automation tools to enhance processes. Businesses benefit from lower total cost of ownership (TCO), 24/7 availability, maintenance and support, and the ability to seamlessly adjust to market demands and scale for success.
“The possibilities from advanced technologies make the cloud even more relevant to the supply chain,” says David Hicks, vice president worldwide ISV Business Development, Oracle. “Standardizing on Oracle Cloud, HighJump Now takes this one step further, fueled by Oracle’s industry leading security, performance and the unique flexibility of the HighJump WMS to revolutionize workflows.”
