As an AEM Service Provider member, o9 joins a community of equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and industry partners committed to advancing the future of the industry.

By joining AEM, o9 aims to collaborate more closely with industry leaders to address emerging challenges and help manufacturers navigate increasing complexity across their value chains.

"We're proud and thankful to welcome o9 Solutions as one of the newest members of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM)," said Paul Flemming, AEM Vice President of Membership and Sales. "All our members work together through the association to advance non-road equipment manufacturing, as well as the agriculture and construction markets it serves. This is a pivotal time for our industry, and our members shape AEM's direction, their support powers our progress, and their contributions serve as the engine behind everything we do."

“Today’s equipment manufacturers face a volatile mix of challenges, from rising geopolitical tensions and disruptions, to changing regulations and trade obligations, to volatile commodity prices, to decreasing service levels, and more,” said Brent Hasenkamp, Senior Vice President, Industry Solutions, o9 Solutions. “To navigate these complexities and mitigate risk, they need to modernize their supply chain planning operations. o9’s enterprise planning platform acts as one central version of the truth and data model for the enterprise, breaking down siloes and seamlessly integrating all decision-making across various business models.
