News: Partnership
CognitOps Selected for Wincanton W2 Labs
December 14, 2020
CognitOps is excited to announce our partnership with Wincanton W2 Labs to demonstrate the value of our platform in a complex 3PL environment, and also to mark our expansion of work outside of North America and into the UK and Europe.
Below are a few excerpts of CEO Alex Ramirez’s interview with W2 Labs.
Why did you apply to be a part of W2 Labs?
We applied because our vision and mission are 100% aligned with Wincanton’s goal of revolutionising modern-day fulfilment with better demand forecasting and people and process planning. We didn’t set out to just build a product; we started CognitOps for opportunities to deliver value like this one.
What do you see as the key benefits of collaboration between start-ups and large companies like Wincanton?
We see three major advantages:
- Stronger engagement to a pilot: Curiosity and conviction barriers have already been lowered, and the willingness to experiment with frontier technologies is present.
- Proper investment and expectations: A large company like Wincanton is prepared to invest their time and resources to help the start-up. Additionally, expectations are usually aligned with the start-up’s modus operandi of ‘start small, grow big’.”
- Use case and value alignment: large companies usually have one or more instances of the business problem. Success can be accomplished if the start-up executes around these.
