KOLKATA, India & SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ITC Limited, one of India’s leading marketers in the fast-moving consumer good business, is transforming its supply chain. The company has invested in two large, automated distribution centers to support its growth ambitions in the coming years. These facilities are expected to provide a competitive edge in terms of scale, freshness and close-to-market distribution.
As part of this initiative, ITC’s Trade Marketing and Distribution Division has partnered with Blue Yonder, a leader in digital supply chain and omni-channel commerce fulfillment. The automated distribution centers are supported by Blue Yonder’s Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Labor Management solution to deliver benchmark efficiencies in its operations. ITC has further selected Blue Yonder to implement several Luminate® Planning solutions later this year.
