Pernod Ricard to Get Automation-Enabled Sourcing Lift

International spirits manufacturer Pernod Ricard will elevate its sourcing processes, streamlining operations across the enterprise.

The company has a market presence in 60 countries and includes a portfolio with such brands as Jameson Whiskey, Absolut Vodka, Malibu and Havana Club. 

In order to simplify operations and remove complexities, the company sought a solution that would discontinue disparate technology from various external sources and reconfigure sourcing efforts through a single, scalable platform while maintaining operational flexibility for individual business segments.
