Metis Consulting, a leading supply chain management firm in France, has chosen CAST Aurora software from Barloworld Supply Chain Software, to support its increasing number of network design projects.

Metis Consulting will use the supply chain design and network modelling solution across its national and international client-base which spans a wide range of sectors including distribution (retail & e-commerce), consumer packaged goods and industry. 

Jean-Marc Soulier, CEO at Metis Consulting says, “The decision making that drives network design optimisation is becoming more and more complex. It requires taking into account a large amount of variables including:  locating raw materials; sourcing zones; the location and capacity of industrial or distribution sites; flow typology; inventory seasonality; service levels and commercial areas. In addition we need to be able to rapidly identify economic and services issues, plus integrate customs, tax, environmental and ecological aspects if required.”

In addition, Jean-Marie Paumelle, Associate Director at Metis Consulting, said: “Following the development and implementation of our own specific solutions for several years, we were looking for a global solution capable of meeting our requirements and with an easy to use interface. CAST Aurora proved to be the best solution capable of providing all our modelling needs and is supported by a proactive global team offering to help and advise us when needed.”

Gilles Alais, Country Manager France for Barloworld, added, “We are particularly proud that our solution was chosen by such a prominent player within the consulting world. This demonstrates once again that CAST AURORA is the leading software on the market for the optimisation of logistics networks.”
