| Keywords: | Quintiq, supply chain optimization, advanced planning and scheduling |
Quintiq, a Netherlands-based advanced planning and scheduling (APS) and supply chain optimization technology provider, has opened a North American headquarters office based in Wayne, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. The office will handle operational, business development, and marketing activities as Quintiq works to expand its North American presence. It will also provide a local point of contact for project implementation and support for the company's existing U.S., Canadian, and Mexican customers, including metals manufacturers Alcoa, Novelis, Logan Aluminum, and Dofasco.
Following a strong year in which the privately held Quintiq said it saw 84% year-over-year revenue growth, the company felt the time was right to establish the North American headquarters, said Joachim Arts, Quintiq's North American business director. "We hope to become the North American market leader over time, enjoying the same success we have had in other countries," he said. Until now, the company maintained a U.S. business development office; it has supplied North American customers since 2005.
Quintiq serves a broad range of markets, including general manufacturing, metals, aviation, field services, logistics, rail freight, security, and workforce optimization, with approximately 200 implementations in 22 countries, including Australia, China, Finland, Germany, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom, Arts said. Founded in 1997, the company claims average annual revenue growth of 40% and competes mainly with i2 and Manugistics, Arts said. Quintiq sells directly to end users as well as through a network of strategic alliance partners, including Accenture, Capgemini, IBM, and SAP.
