Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, Generix Group, and one of France's biggest telematics companies, DDS, have joined forces to create a major global player in supply chain digitalisation. Covering the entire spectrum of goods and data, from procurement to invoicing and payment, the collaboration aims to provide an unparalleled 360° view of the supply chain.
