Benelux retailer enhances supply chain processes and achieves strategic goals by deploying Blue Yonder Demand & Fulfillment solutions

The do-it-yourself (DIY) retail sector contends with unique challenges and constraints, as value-conscious consumers, shifting season patterns and intense competition persist. That’s why Maxeda DIY Group, a leading Benelux retailer in the DIY sector, digitally transformed its strategic supply chain processes by deploying Blue Yonder Demand and Fulfillment solutions.

It operates under three brands: Praxis in the Netherlands, Brico in Belgium and Luxembourg, and BricoPlanit in Belgium. Maxeda DIY Group’s “Make it Sustainable” strategy aims to make the company and the life of its customers more sustainable.

The collaboration with Blue Yonder Global Professional Services was exceptional; they helped us prioritize the right business actions, focusing on end-to-end category profitability, and refreshing our view of our supply chain strategy, sustainability and proposition. The teamwork and joint effort between our organizations were instrumental in driving this success. As a result, we successfully achieved both technical and business goals,” said Erik Cuypers, Group CDO and CIO, Maxeda DIY Group.

Thanks to Blue Yonder, Maxeda DIY Group has been able to:

Singtel and Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on next-generation data centers and GPU Cloud in Japan and potentially the wider Asia Pacific region under the lead of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo unit. The strategic partnership will combine Singtel’s extensive data center and connectivity expertise and technology platforms with Hitachi’s differentiating capability that enables end-to-end data center integration including green power solutions, cooling systems, storage infrastructure and data management. Together, the companies intend to sustainably enhance data center performance and capabilities, thereby accelerating AI adoption and digital transformation of enterprises.

Notably, the agreement expands on a partnership announced by the companies in June 2024*1 to trial and integrate Singtel’s Paragon, the all-in-one orchestration platform for 5G, edge computing and cloud, with Hitachi’s AI applications for Hitachi’s manufacturing operations as well as enterprise customers. Through Singtel’s Paragon platform and Hitachi’s deep AI expertise, both companies aim to address the complexities faced by customers when deploying AI capabilities.

*1 Press release (June 27, 2024) ”Singtel and Hitachi Digital Partner to Accelerate Industrial AI Solutions”
https://www.hitachi.com/New/cnews/month/2024/06/240628a.html

With the rapidly growing demand for AI and cloud services, Japan has become one of the largest and fastest growing data center markets in the Asia Pacific region. The market is expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 9.8% and reach US$5 billion by 2028*2.

*2 Structure Research, Japan (Tokyo & Osaka) DCI Report 2023: Data Centre Colocation, Hyperscale Cloud & Interconnection

Mr. Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo, said, “Our strategic partnership with Hitachi, a leader in digital systems and services fields, opens up new opportunities in a strategically important and expanding Japanese market. Building a strong ecosystem of partners has always been a priority at Singtel to better serve our customers and broaden our global reach. We look forward to bringing our collective expertise, digital assets and solutions to help more enterprises innovate and transform their businesses and operations through the cloud and AI. As we scale our digital capabilities with our partners like Hitachi, we aim to become a leader in the Asia Pacific region.”

Singtel carved out Digital InfraCo in mid-2023 to serve as a catalyst for innovation and economic growth for Asia Pacific’s digital economies. Digital InfraCo’s portfolio includes Nxera, its regional data center arm, subsea cable, and satellite businesses, and Paragon platform which are all crucial to advancing AI in the region. Digital InfraCo plans to launch GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) later this year to better support enterprise AI adoption.

Mr. Toshiaki Tokunaga, Executive Vice President and Executive Officer at Hitachi, said, “Since its inception, Hitachi’s corporate philosophy has centered on addressing the challenges faced by customers and society. As generative AI continues to drive new innovations, the issues of environmental impact due to rising electricity demand is becoming more prominent. Striking a balance between these two factors is a significant mission for Hitachi’s Social Innovation Business. We are delighted to embark on this mission through our strategic alliance with Singtel. By combining Singtel’s expertise in the development and operation of sustainable data centers with the comprehensive capabilities of the Hitachi Group, ranging from green power solutions to facility and data management, we aim to enable companies to utilize data centers in an intelligent and environmentally conscious manner; ultimately achieving continuous innovation while promoting sustainability.”

AI-driven data center expansion is a major opportunity for Hitachi’s Social Innovation business expansion and its group businesses such as Hitachi Digital Services, Hitachi Energy and others as the expansion calls for the successful integration of all areas where Hitachi uniquely excels: information technology, operational technology and products.

The key areas covered by the MOU are:

Explore next-generation data center collaboration in Japan and Asia Pacific to address AI demand: Nxera and Hitachi will explore opportunities to develop data centers across Japan and the rest of the Asia Pacific region. With the continued growth in cloud and AI momentum, it is important to operate smart and environmentally sustainable data centers through high efficiency, high quality data center management. Such an initiative would draw on Nxera’s expertise in data center design, building and operation along with Hitachi’s expertise in the production and delivery of data-center-focused equipment, next-generation energy solutions and advanced IT systems management that ensure stable operations within data center environments.

Nxera is developing a platform of sustainable, hyper-connected AI-ready data centers in the region with a total capacity of more than 200MW in addition to 62MW of existing capacity in Singapore.

Combine Singtel’s GPU platform with Hitachi’s AI expertise to develop enterprise applications: Hitachi will explore using Singtel’s GPUaaS for its internal AI applications and workloads. This effort would allow Hitachi to verify complementary Singtel-based benefits that can enhance Hitachi’s high-performance machine learning, generative AI, and other digital technologies and solutions. Subsequently, it would provide an opportunity for both companies to define more power-efficient methodologies that could advance any enterprise’s sustainability goals.

Based on the results of Hitachi’s internal GPUaaS verification, the companies may also explore the co-creation of enterprise-grade applications that combines Hitachi’s expertise, including its generative AI technologies and platform, with Singtel’s GPU cloud and Paragon platform. The aim is to further reduce customer development and deployment times as well as management and deployment overhead for AI applications.

Sompo, a subsidiary of the company responsible for the insurance and reinsurance operations of Sompo Holdings Group outside of Japan, has formed a partnership with Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR), a leading vendor of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for the modern enterprise. This initiative plans to invest over the next three years in a data integration and AI solution to drive digital transformation at the insurer, which is among the top five in the Corporate and Agribusiness Insurance segment in Brazil.

The contract builds on Palantir’s existing partnership with Sompo’s parent company, Sompo Holdings in Japan. It has paved the way for data operations platform, Palantir Foundry, along with Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), to be used to support improved decision-making in key areas of Sompo’s business such as pricing, underwriting and risk management – delivering efficiency gains and faster response times for the insurer’s customers and partners.

Sompo’s investment in Palantir’s solutions reflects the company’s determination to enhance its program of digital transformation, incorporating solutions to optimize business performance. Central to that vision is the use of Data Analytics and AI to create intelligent assistants which can provide greater accuracy in pricing and operational efficiency, benefiting both insurers and customers.

Marine Insurance, where Sompo has led the Brazilian market since 2017, is the first segment where the software is already embedded as a solution in the pricing processes for RCF-DC (Civil Liability of Road Carriers for Cargo Loss, in the Portuguese acronym) and RCTR-C (Civil Liability for Road Cargo Transporter, in the Portuguese acronym) branches. This involves smart models which can interpret a significant number of physical documents and propose more appropriate values based on an assessment of historical pricing context and potential risk factors.

Rodrigo Caramez, Sompo’s Chief Strategy Officer, said: “Historically, the search for efficiency involved automating simple, repetitive, and high-volume processes. This still applies, but with the new technological frontier applied to the use of data and AI, and the availability of simpler tools with natural language, we can expand this search for efficiency to the organization’s highly specialized core processes. The challenge now is to ensure that the team is involved and prepared for this new moment.”

Igor Zavorize, Sompo’s Superintendent of Strategy and Data Governance, said: “We are excited about our partnership with Palantir, using Foundry and AIP to maximize the potential of our data. These advanced data integration and analysis tools allow us to implement AI models at scale. With this, we can turn data into strategic insights and significantly improve decision-making across the organization.”

 ENOSIX today announced a new MuleSoft Certified Connector for SAP. Accessible in MuleSoft Anypoint Exchange, this new connector will allow companies to simplify integration across SAP data and Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud.

Customers can now sync ‘materials’ from SAP to products in Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud and ‘material level prices’ in SAP to ‘price’ in Salesforce within days of deployment.

Key features of this solution include:

  • Low-Code SAP Integration: Simplify your workflow with a solution that eliminates complex coding, allowing Salesforce admins and developers to seamlessly sync SAP data to Manufacturing Cloud.
  • Accelerate Time to Value: With this solution, syncs are operational in mere days – no building, testing, or deploying required.
  • Optimize IT Resources and Administration: Fully portable to SAP S/4HANA and supporting the SAP Clean-Core Initiative, this joint solution maximizes IT investments and frees up resources for strategic initiatives.

“We are thrilled to build upon our partnership with MuleSoft and Salesforce and unveil this revolutionary integration solution,” said Gerald Schlechter, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at enosix. “By combining the power of the enosix SAP integration accelerator with MuleSoft’s industry-leading platform, we are empowering businesses to unlock the full potential of their SAP data within Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud, driving greater efficiency, agility, and innovation.”

MuleSoft helps businesses and developers transform into customer-first companies by enabling a single customer view across hundreds of systems and touchpoints using one unified platform. With MuleSoft, organizations can empower no-code and pro-code teams to build integrations and automations across any system, connect data for a single customer view, and discover and govern every API.
