Verizon Business has been selected by FM Logistic - an international supplier of omnichannel supply chain services - to transform its global network infrastructure.
The secure SD WAN network will run across FM Logistic’s operations in 14 countries and is a fundamental part of the company’s growth and ongoing digital transformation. With the need for efficient and reliable end to end supply chain services currently in huge demand as a result of the rise in e-commerce, this super-charged network will help FM Logistic continue to meet and more importantly exceed the needs of its customers, increasing its agility and performance as well as enabling it to take advantage of the data explosion offered by the digital world.
Although its current Verizon network was recognized for its uptime performance and reliability, FM Logistic knew that to take advantage of new high-bandwidth applications and prepare its infrastructure for the next generation of operational innovation, the network needed to be upgraded. This would also enable it to take advantage of the surge of new digital logistical data available, such as delivery, route and supply chain management data, in order to drive even better services to its customers.
FM Logistic is an international supplier of supply chain services with a strong customer base in the consumer goods, retail, cosmetic, industrial and health sectors. It employs more than 27,200 people.

With new digital applications on the horizon such as Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning creating a digital data explosion, it is crucial that businesses assess their existing networks to ensure they are ready for this fast-paced digital future.
Alexandre Brauner, Group Information Systems Director at FM Logistic
This global, powerful, evolutive, resilient and secure infrastructure is the foundation of our IT landscape and its connectivity will help enable us to manage complex omnichannel end to end supply chain operations for our customers, migrate services to the cloud and introduce new urban logistics solutions.
