Verizon Business to Create Next-Generation Global Network Infrastructure for FM Logistic
November 17 2021 - 3:00AM
Verizon Business has been selected by FM Logistic – an
international supplier of omnichannel supply chain services –
to transform its global network infrastructure. The secure SD WAN
network will run across FM Logistic’s operations in 14 countries
and is a fundamental part of the company’s growth and ongoing
digital transformation.
With the need for efficient and reliable end to end
supply chain services currently in huge demand as a result of the
rise in e-commerce, this super-charged network will help FM
Logistic continue to meet and more importantly exceed the needs of
its customers, increasing its agility and performance as well as
enabling it to take advantage of the data explosion offered by the
digital world.
“With new digital applications on the horizon such as Internet
of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning creating a
digital data explosion, it is crucial that businesses assess their
existing networks to ensure they are ready for this fast-paced
digital future,” said Scott Lawrence, Group Vice President of
Verizon Business in Europe. “Newer networks feature better
security, more capacity and enhanced functionality. They can help
supercharge strategic business growth and new service innovation
for increased competitive advantage.”
Although its current Verizon network was recognized for its
uptime performance and reliability, FM Logistic knew that to take
advantage of new high-bandwidth applications and prepare its
infrastructure for the next generation of operational innovation,
the network needed to be upgraded. This would also enable it to
take advantage of the surge of new digital logistical data
available, such as delivery, route and supply chain management
data, in order to drive even better services to its customers.
“This global, powerful, evolutive, resilient and secure
infrastructure is the foundation of our IT landscape and its
connectivity will help enable us to manage complex omnichannel end
to end supply chain operations for our customers, migrate services
to the cloud and introduce new urban logistics solutions. We see
high performance and the near real-time visibility of data as
critical in serving our customers, delivering their goods on time
and in perfect condition,” said Alexandre Brauner, Group
Information Systems Director at FM Logistic. “Verizon Business has
been our trusted network partner for the past decade and we are
confident that they are also the right partner for our future.
We’re excited to explore how other technologies such as 5G could
help us strengthen our business processes and support our business
strategy.”
FM Logistic is an international supplier of supply chain
services with a strong customer base in the consumer goods, retail,
cosmetic, industrial and health sectors. It employs more than
27,200 people.
