Accenture has agreed to acquire OnProcess Technology, a provider of supply chain managed services, to help organizations refine processes, improve the way inventory is managed and solve complex service challenges.
With this acquisition, Accenture will enhance its supply chain capabilities, specifically in asset recovery and service supply chain management, making it easier for clients to manage service orders, drive returns, track movement and ensure the appropriate reuse, disposal or recycling of assets, according to the statement.
OnProcess specializes in reverse logistics for every step of the after-sales process, leveraging automation, AI and data-led decision-making to maintain visibility from planning to asset recovery, a statement said.
Together, Accenture and OnProcess will offer clients supply chain delivery capabilities with integrated after-sales operations. The combined solution will improve operational efficiency and enhance the customer experience, all while supporting a more sustainable supply chain, as per the statement.
Headquartered in Boston, OnProcess has more than 1,500 employees located in the U.S., India, Costa Rica and Bulgaria. With their expertise they serve clients across a diversified portfolio in industries like communications, media and technology, medical devices, logistics and manufacturing.
“In recent years, supply chains have risen to one of the most important business functions on the CEO agenda. In today’s environment, the challenge is to drive cost efficiency while continuing to embed and accelerate resiliency. This is why we see the focus on supply chain operations as a vital source of competitive advantage,” said Melissa Twiningdavis, senior managing director of supply chain operations, Accenture. “With OnProcess and its highly qualified professionals, we are strengthening our ability to help organizations in their supply chain reinvention efforts, enabling them to leverage domain talent, data and processes, to transform operations successfully.”
