What Happened
DENSO CORPORATION announced a strategic partnership with Oracle to modernize its core supply chain systems. The companies will deploy a new global core system based on Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, incorporating the latest AI technologies to build an advanced digital foundation for supply chain operations.
This partnership expands on previous collaborations between DENSO and Oracle in finance, indirect procurement, and human resources. Under the new agreement, the companies will also establish an AI Center of Excellence to promote the use of AI agents across the initiative. A pilot deployment at overseas locations is planned in about two years, followed by a phased global rollout.
“This initiative goes beyond simple efficiency improvements; it represents a fundamental modernization of our core systems to transform the quality and speed of decision-making on a global scale.”
“DENSO’s continued growth and the increased speed and complexity of its supply chain operations required a new AI-centric and integrated approach. With Oracle Fusion Applications, DENSO can adopt an AI-powered system of outcomes... to automate end-to-end workflows, boost supply chain performance, and drive efficient global growth.”
Why this matters
The partnership aims to help Denso handle increasing supply chain complexity from vehicle diversification and geopolitical risks by building a resilient, AI-driven digital foundation.
