Marks and Spencer using ZetesOlympus to increase food supply chain visibility

Retailer Marks and Spencer (M&S) has selected Zetes to help provide more visibility across its fresh food supply chain.

Zetes told Post&Parcel that M&S will use the ZetesOlympus platform to work more closely with its food suppliers and “gain real-time fulfilment performance insight across its fresh food supply chain”.

According to Zetes: “The platform will help M&S foresee any possible disruptions to availability, via real time alerts, meaning M&S can take fast preventative action to maintain its fresh food fulfilment standards. The platform, which connects M&S to all its logistics providers, will also encourage greater collaboration across the supply chain.”

Syd Reid, Supply Chain Director, M&S, said: “It is crucial for us to have complete visibility of our supply chain and be immediately alerted when unexpected events occur. That way, we can be agile and react at pace to ensure that our customers can get their favourite M&S food products when they want them, no matter what.”
