ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LLamasoft, the global leader in supply chain design software and solutions, is pleased to announce that [following a competitive selection process] Super Retail Group has selected the LLamasoft Supply Chain Guru and SupplyChainGuru.com supply chain modeling platform and the LLamasoft Data Guru visual data blending and analytics tool to model and optimize their complex supply chain operations.
Founded in 1974 as a fledging automotive parts mail order business, Super Retail Group Ltd (ASX: SUL) has grown to one of Australasia’s largest retailers, housing such iconic brands as Amart Sports, BCF Boating Camping Fishing, Supercheap Auto, Rays and Rebel. Proudly headquartered in Brisbane, the company’s network extends today to over 630 retail stores, six distribution centers, and almost 12,000 team members across Australia, New Zealand and China.

Digital has made retail a global business, and we are pleased to be partnering with a world leader in LLamasoft.”
