Calsun|Grand Frais, a France-based grocer, is deploying SymphonyAI on Oracle's cloud infrastructure as its service-as-a-service cloud provider.
The technology will allow the grocer to build the "connected store of the future," according to a press release, as it will support fast retail sales growth and help gain efficiency in operations. The 10-year collaboration builds on existing SymphonyAI solutions to drive further operational excellence through more connected supply chain and store operations.
Calsun, a SymphonyAI customer since 2013, operates using multiple SymphonyAI supply chain optimization solutions including order management, flow management, invoice matching and store operations and mobility tools. The unified operational platform provides Calsun a more connected view across stores and the supply chain for end-to-end planning between channel and central operations, instant visibility from store shelf to corporate, and alerts and prioritizes workflows across teams for quicker and more optimal execution.
"SymphonyAI store and mobility solutions have contributed to our rapid growth, and we at Calsun look forward to extending the partnership to continue to scale and build the connected store of the future," Bertrand Nomdedeu, CEO of Calsun, said in the release. "We are very confident in SymphonyAI's cloud infrastructure and look forward to extending the partnership to gain the scalability, reliability and security of the cloud-based SymphonyAI platform to support our future growth. In addition, reducing complexity and maintenance requirements frees up our team members to focus on more strategic activities while reducing costs."
Calsun is part of the Grand Frais Conglomerate, which includes Calsun groceries, Prosol fresh produce, creamery, seafood stalls and DESPI butcher stalls. Grand Frais has a network of 297 stores in France and Belgium.
