FREMONT, CA: Encompass Technologies and Orchestra Software, two long-time leaders in technology, merged to streamline the beverage industry supply chain. Both companies have played a crucial role in laying the very foundation for the beverage industry and serving as the system of record and operations in their respective markets. Now merged, they will develop a truly connected supply chain for the first time in history. By linking the three-tier system, the industry will now have a single source of truth for operations, data, and decision-making.
"I've been trying to solve the demand planning and supply chain problem in our industry for over a decade, and now that we've joined forces with Encompass, we have all the pieces in place to truly connect our customers and our industry at a scale not possible before," said Brad Windecker, Founder and CEO of Orchestra Software.
The present merger will enable Encompass Technologies and Orchestra Software to leverage their combined expertise and innovative software to connect every link of the supply chain and deliver an unmatched level of integration. By simplifying supply and demand forecasting and making transaction flow seamless, products will move from supplier to distributor to retailer to end consumer in a much smoother and effective way.
Jonathan O'Neil, Founder and CEO of Encompass, said, "For years, Orchestra and Encompass have been looking at the same problems from different angles, and now we're finally able to combine those insights to create a powerful, connected solution that will save people frustration and bring the entire industry up to speed."
Radian Capital, the venture capital firm that has backed Orchestra since the year 2018, is also on board and sees a significant upside to this merger. "The beverage industry has lacked a cohesive software offering that can create efficiency and visibility from early manufacturing to last mile delivery. The combination of Orchestra and Encompass is a big step in the right direction – creating the first-ever software company to make that vision a reality," said Jordan Bettman of Radian Capital. "We're ecstatic to both continue our partnership with Brad Windecker and his team at Orchestra and to foster a new partnership with Jonathan O'Neil and his team at Encompass," added he.
