Bracknell and Birmingham, UK - July 2000

Global Supply Chain Consulting (GSC) are an independent consulting firm specialising in providing clients with expert help and advice on all aspects of supply chain planning. The new partnership with Mercia will enable GSC to recommend and implement the well-known MerciaLincs suite of supply chain planning software.

GSC Managing Director, Robert Smith is keen to point out that MerciaLincs will only be recommended where suitable "At GSC we have a considerable knowledge of the software available in the Supply Chain Planning space, and it is clear that the Mercia product will be well suited for a number of our clients. Once the software selection has been made, our consultants will be on hand to ensure that the implementation is successful, and that clients achieve their target benefits."

Gareth Brentnall, Mercia's Business Development Director adds - "GSC are well placed to help us extend our market. They have a growing client base, and have the experience necessary to spot opportunities where our MerciaLincs solution is a good fit."

MerciaLincs is currently installed at in excess of 450 sites world-wide, and is a leading solution in the demand and supply chain planning arena. The product's internet based capabilities are proving a very effective way to support the B2B collaborative planning process, with an increasing number of customers planning their supply chain on a regional or even global basis.

The Mercia/GSC alliance will be focusing on supply chain efficiency as a mechanism for achieving increased profit and shareholder value for our client companies.
