The world's largest privately owned pet product manufacturer
and distributor ushers in new operational agility and borderless
scalability by moving to Tecsys' SaaS WMS.
MONTREAL, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecsys Inc. (TSX:
TCS), an industry-leading supply chain management software company,
is pleased to announce that Rolf C. Hagen Inc., a global leader in
pet product manufacturing and distribution, will deploy Tecsys'
SaaS software across its multinational warehouse and distribution
infrastructure, fueling its continued growth against a uniquely
challenging and converging marketplace. The SaaS platform will
enable better operational agility and strengthen business
intelligence.
The Hagen Group was founded in Montreal in 1955 and has since grown into the
world's largest privately owned multinational manufacturer and
distributor of pet supplies. Offering over 5,000 products, and
with multiple category-leading brands, the company enjoys sales in
over 75 countries. As the business expands in volume and
geography, priority turned to modernizing its tech stack and
eliminating internal IT burden so that the continued growth of the
business could be supported by the technical infrastructure in
place.
As with many of Tecsys' more longstanding customers, the Hagen
Group sought to retain operational efficiencies and robust system
capabilities while preparing for more complexity and higher demands
on operational resources. A SaaS model was adopted to drive unity
across disparate data siloes and complex supply chain operations in
North America and Europe. Tecsys' SaaS supply chain platform
enables customers to connect their core supply chain execution
activities together, stitching together planning, execution and
delivery capabilities from end-to-end.
The Hagen Group emphasizes the importance of continued
innovation and improved customer experience initiatives. The
company likewise understands that staying ahead of the competitive
fray is no longer just about feature, function and price. How that
product reaches its destination factors fundamentally into the
buying decision. By modernizing its supply chain infrastructure,
functionality and capacity, the company is better positioned to
focus on its core business mandate while satisfying more fastidious
logistical demands.
"We have journeyed together with Tecsys for nearly two decades,
and in them we find a true partner in pursuit of supply chain
excellence," says Rolf Hagen Jr.,
president and CEO at Rolf C. Hagen Inc. "We coordinate a deeply
complex network of high-volume manufacturers, artisanal vendors,
multinational retailers, standalone stores and direct-to-consumer
channels, and Tecsys has given us the tools to orchestrate these
moving parts on a global scale."
Peter Brereton, president and CEO
of Tecsys, comments, "We are delighted that the Hagen Group has
renewed their faith in Tecsys by converting to SaaS. We are
confident that this move will greatly enhance their operational
flexibility, and in turn, better support them in driving customer
satisfaction."
Innovation in supply chain management is fast and furious, and
cloud deployment provides the backdrop to stay at the cutting edge
of that innovation. Customers who convert to SaaS can harness
multiple benefits like improved agility, greater security, and a
better ability to absorb supply chain disruption. For over a
decade, Tecsys has helped customers move their supply chains to the
cloud, enabling operational elasticity and clearing the path for
borderless business growth.
"Perhaps more quickly than any time in history, the supply chain
industry is shedding legacy restraints," explains Bill King, chief revenue officer at Tecsys.
"Once upon a time, it was enough to install supply chain software
and run it for 20 years with only tweaks along the way. Today, the
technology that supports modern distribution operations is more
dynamic and needs to evolve with the rate of change on the outside.
SaaS puts the power of innovation in the hands of our customers, so
they remain at the bleeding edge of what they do and how they serve
their customers."
"Several organizations are aware that migration to cloud may be
overdue but hesitate to take action because they are unsure about
best practices, operational and financial implications, or ongoing
resource requirements post changeover," continues King. "With the
Hagen Group as with other companies making the switch, Tecsys is
hands-on in this process so that our customers, ultimately, can be
more hands-off without skipping a beat in their operations."
