Trusted by leaders across industry verticals
Leverage supplier collaboration to increase primary data collection, understand multi-tier supply networks, increase accuracy of environmental data and achieve supply chain transparency
No single party has all the required data points covering business processes and supply chains end-to-end. To close this gap, our solution enables the exchange of sustainability data and collaboration via supplier and business networks
Key benefits of supplier collaboration
Engage in collaborative planning with your upstream and downstream supply chain partners to systematically collect data in an automated / semi-automated way, share knowledge and improve efficiency
- Acquire materials and process primary data to enhance reliability
- Easily collect sustainability data from suppliers in collaboration with colleagues from different departments, locations and subsidiaries, instead of having to manually collect and consolidate it
- Overcome issues of siloed environmental data that is disconnected from core enterprise planning and execution systems.
- Maximize transparency throughout the supply chain for leaders, employees, and other stakeholders
Key capabilities
Sustainable supply chain transformation cannot be achieved by individual companies acting alone—collective action is needed to drive systemic change.

"The decisions taken by the logistics team are already processed by the engine, a priori. They validate it, it feeds into our execution engine for track-building and shipments. The workbench allows our team to move the same-day order fill rate. Last month we actually achieved a 98.5% OFR."
Vice President of Supply Chain
"o9 is moving the team’s workload and energy away from executing mundane, tedious tasks like determining how many units of each SKU go to each store every single week. We're moving them upstream into preseason planning, into developing strategy, and then the system executes automatically."
Associate Vice President of Allocations and Merchandise
"We are seeing about a 50% scrap reduction. And that is driven by the fact that we have a line of sight now to our customer forecasts, and we're making decisions to avoid bringing in excess inventory or inventory we don't need."
Global Supply Chain Manager
"o9 was able to significantly improve our forecast accuracy."
Senior Vice President of Corporate SCM and Logistics
"Now when we hear things like, "This has been the most important improvement or biggest improvement to my mental health" to "I have never, ever have to tell a customer I'm out of something." Those are the moments when you know we have got it right."
Vice President of Engineering and Quality Assurance
