EFESO Management Consultants has strengthened its supply chain capabilities in Europe and Asia with the addition of the consulting team of Aioneers.

The deal sees the global operations and supply chain consultancy firm bolt-on the consulting arm of Aioneers, a Germany-headquartered dedicated to supply chain solutions. The crossing arm will rebrand as AIONEERS-EFESO, and operate with offices in Mannheim (Germany) and Pune (India).

This starts from supply chain strategy definition to global target picture design, advanced planning system selection as well as transformations of planning processes, organization and state-of-the-art planning system implementation. This is supported skills in digitalization, technology project delivery, and change management.

In addition, the team has in-depth experience in leveraging intelligent technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and smart platforms to drive supply chain transformation.

Luca Lecchi, co-CEO at EFESO Management Consultants, said that in today’s rapidly evolving and complex supply chain landscape, bringing together strategy, operations and technology is essential for delivering maximum value and ROI in supply chain management. “Together, we will enhance our role as a value-adding partner for our customers, serving as a bridge between their business requirements and state-of-the-art technology solutions.”

AIONEERS-EFESO will continue to serve as an advisory and implementation partner of Aioneers, and work closely together with EFESO Management Consultants and ROI:EFESO, a German subsidiary that specialises in industrial transformation.
