Cloud strategy accelerates adoption of warehouse and logistics technologies of tomorrow
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HighJump, a global provider of supply chain solutions and a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), announces HighJump Now, HighJump's initiative to empower companies worldwide across the entire supply chain with the cloud. HighJump Now has achieved Powered by Oracle Cloud status and is now available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, offering added value to Oracle Cloud customers. HighJump solidifies its leading industry cloud position and enables customers with a global platform to capitalize on the digital, connected and automated supply chain of the future.
"Supply chains of all sizes are challenged by consumer demands for purchasing convenience, delivery speed, choice and flexibility," said Sean Elliott, chief technology officer at HighJump. "HighJump is empowering companies to exceed these expectations – combining the unique adaptability, control and scalability of our on-premise offerings with the cloud to evolve supply chains for the needs of today and tomorrow."
"ARC is a big believer in the cloud for warehousing and logistics," said Steve Banker, vice president of supply chain management at ARC. "With the speed to value and total cost of ownership advantages, HighJump's relationship with Oracle is very significant in bringing the benefits of the cloud to companies in markets and industries worldwide."
Supply chains are evolving rapidly to handle new business models, stressed traditional logistics systems and deconsolidating networks resulting from same-day delivery, increased order volumes and mobility. This requires enhanced capacity and adaptability. The cloud makes this possible.
HighJump Now builds on HighJump's existing cloud capabilities and expertise, providing a comprehensive cloud-based solution portfolio for supply chain management. Along with advanced data analytics and warehouse control, HighJump Now will provide a foundation for new, complex technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, IoT and machine learning in a secure cloud environment. This allows efficient management and integration of automation tools to enhance processes. Businesses benefit from lower total cost of ownership (TCO), 24/7 availability, maintenance and support, and the ability to seamlessly adjust to market demands and scale for success.
"The supply chain of the future is possible today with HighJump Now," said Scott Brask, vice president of support and cloud at HighJump. "By delivering instant access to data and systems to whomever, wherever and whenever supply chains are securely connected to the cloud, HighJump is helping companies worldwide keep up with and drive the 'pace of change.'"
HighJump is already seeing tremendous company and industry cloud expansion, anticipated to increase through HighJump Now. This includes:
"The possibilities from advanced technologies make the cloud even more relevant to the supply chain," said David Hicks, vice president worldwide ISV Business Development, Oracle. "Standardizing on Oracle Cloud, HighJump Now takes this one step further, fueled by Oracle's industry leading security, performance and the unique flexibility of the HighJump WMS to revolutionize workflows."
