MARC GLOBAL, HITACHI SHARE OPERATIONS
MARC Global, based in Reston, Va., a provider of supply chain execution systems, and Hitachi Ltd., an industrial and information services company, have begun a strategic alliance to provide fulfillment software and logistics solutions.
Hitachi will resell and integrate MARC Global’s product line exclusively in Japan, and non-exclusively in other nations in the Asia-Pacific market.
“Retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers are now trying to reorganize their distribution sites,” said Hiroyuki Ishizaka, manager of Hitachi’s Distributions Systems Division, “relying more on 3PLs that are transportation specialists.”
Hitchai’s internal customer base will be the initial target for selling MARC solutions.
