Accor\u00adding to Prewave, it uses the possi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties of AI to inte\u00adgrate super\u00adin\u00adtel\u00adli\u00adgence into the supply chain in order to make compa\u00adnies\u2019 supply chains more trans\u00adpa\u00adrent, compli\u00adant and resi\u00adli\u00adent. It iden\u00adti\u00adfies 140 types of risk on a global level and supports compa\u00adnies in mana\u00adging them. These include issues that affect resi\u00adli\u00adence and cause disrup\u00adtion (natu\u00adral disas\u00adters, finan\u00adcial stress, cyber risks, acci\u00addents and legal issues), sustaina\u00adbi\u00adlity and ESG risks, as well as compli\u00adance with a growing number of natio\u00adnal and inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal regulations.<\/p>\n
Strong growth in Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n Accor\u00adding to the company, it has grown rapidly due to strong demand across Europe and tripled its turno\u00adver in 2023. More than 200 compa\u00adnies, inclu\u00adding Ferrari and Dr. Oetker, alre\u00adady use Prewave in their SCM.<\/p>\n Harald Nitschin\u00adger, Co-Foun\u00adder and Mana\u00adging Direc\u00adtor of Prewave<\/strong> said: \u201cWe are seeing strong demand from leading Euro\u00adpean brands who reco\u00adgnize that Prewave can help them protect their repu\u00adta\u00adtion, improve their perfor\u00admance and increase their profi\u00adta\u00adbi\u00adlity. This funding will allow us to acce\u00adle\u00adrate our global expan\u00adsion, with the US market being our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to make supply chains more trans\u00adpa\u00adrent, more resi\u00adli\u00adent and more sustainable,\u201d adds his co-foun\u00adder Lisa Smith<\/strong>, who laid the foun\u00adda\u00adti\u00adons for Prewave with her docto\u00adral thesis in compu\u00adter science.<\/p>\n Sabina Wizan\u00adder <\/strong>(photo \u00a9 Crean\u00addum), Part\u00adner at Crean\u00addum<\/strong> comm\u00adents: \u201cWe have seen during the pande\u00admic how vulnerable global supply chains can be. Complete trans\u00adpa\u00adrency in the supply chain is one of the top prio\u00adri\u00adties of the company\u2019s manage\u00adment, parti\u00adcu\u00adlarly in view of incre\u00adasing regu\u00adla\u00adtion, geopo\u00adli\u00adti\u00adcal insta\u00adbi\u00adlity and climate change. Prewave has deve\u00adlo\u00adped the best product to meet these requi\u00adre\u00adments. This is also reflec\u00adted in the feed\u00adback from custo\u00admers. Prewave has strong momen\u00adtum and this new invest\u00adment will help to acce\u00adle\u00adrate the company\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n About Crean\u00addum<\/strong><\/p>\n When we foun\u00added Crean\u00addum in 2003, the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties in Europe were not as great as they are today. There were few real venture capi\u00adta\u00adlists, most entre\u00adpre\u00adneurs and venture capi\u00adta\u00adlists did not think it was possi\u00adble to build global tech\u00adno\u00adlogy compa\u00adnies from Europe, and the US share of global venture capi\u00adtal invest\u00adment was domi\u00adnant. We had no idea that we would open hubs in Stock\u00adholm, Berlin, London and San Fran\u00adcisco by 2023, that the Crean\u00addum funds would have raised USD 1.7 billion and inves\u00adted in more than 130 compa\u00adnies in the seed and Series A phase. Today, we are proud that one of six compa\u00adnies in the port\u00adfo\u00adlio is a unicorn, inclu\u00adding Spotify, Depop, iZettle, Bolt, Trade Repu\u00adblic and Klarna. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vienna \u2014 The SCRM plat\u00adform Prewave has recei\u00adved 67 million US dollars (63 million euros) in a Series B finan\u00adcing round.
