5 years ago

Google is entering the supply chain sector with the aim of off ering solutions to the industry. Google Cloud and Dun & Bradstreet, a New York provider of business decisioning data and analysis, have announced a 10-year strategic deal to jointly develop software and services involving supply chain visibility and other associated business matters.

The new arrangement will see Dun & Bradstreet become a founding data provider for Google Cloud’s Supply Chain Twin solution – an initiative fully supported by ‘BigQuery,’ Google Cloud’s serverless, multi-cloud data warehouse, which provides supply chain virtualisation for customers and users.

The new initiative will see Dun & Bradstreet’s supply chain data integrated with Google Cloud’s Supply Chain Twin, allowing the two companies to develop new solutions that offer improvements in end-to-end supply chain visibility for customers, while also seeking to uncover hidden risks in global supply chains.

Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud, highlights the anticipated benefits: “Through this collaboration with Dun & Bradstreet, we are helping companies of all sizes make better decisions through data-driven insights. Dun & Bradstreet’s reputation for business data and delivering innovative capabilities, combined with our leading analytics, artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies, will bring new opportunities to our mutual customers,” he states.
