Infosys announced its tech contract with ZF, a leading automotive supplier, to revamp its supply chain with SAP Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP) and Infosys Cobalt.

ZF, which operates 188 production locations in 31 countries, has reported revenue of €38.3 billion in fiscal 2021.
“Based on the holistic IBP planning approach and the guidance of our implementation partner Infosys, we built the foundation for improved availabilities and reduced inventories within our supply chain,” Rainer Scheuring, Vice President IT AC Market and Materials Management, ZF Friedrichshafen said.
