The Hong Kong-based sourcing and trading company Otto International has adopted TradeBeyond as its multi-enterprise supply chain platform. A member of Otto Group, one of the world’s largest privately owned multi-channel retailers, a multi-brand retail group which includes the brands OTTO, Crate and Barrel, and bonprix, among others, the company will start implementing TradeBeyond’s industry leading platform this year.
Otto International will begin by adopting TradeBeyond CBX’s order and quality modules, with the intention to expand the scope in later phases. TradeBeyond will be used to streamline supply chain processes across Otto International’s many brands covering apparel, footwear, and home goods, and more than 20 sourcing offices across the globe.
“We recognised the need for an interoperable supply chain platform in order to accommodate our global growth,” said Sven Jasper, Chief Digital Officer at Otto International. “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.”
With TradeBeyond, Otto International will be able to streamline multiple supply chain processes and reduce the number of systems. This includes order and quality collaboration with suppliers to keep optimising the supply chain and create full visibility and clearly identified metrics.
“Otto International has long been an esteemed retail sourcing company, in part because of its ability to stay ahead of industry trends and to recognise the importance of digitalization,” said Tim Chiu, Senior Vice President of TradeBeyond. “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.”
