WASHINGTON, DC, July 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MorganFranklin Consulting, a Vaco company, a leading management and technology advisory firm that specializes in solving complex transformational challenges for its clients, has added supply chain services through the re-alignment of Plantensive, Vaco’s supply chain, retail, and category management division.
MorganFranklin and Plantensive already work together extensively to execute consulting projects across retail, distribution, CPG, and manufacturing verticals. This re-alignment represents a unique opportunity to accelerate growth for each business while enhancing the experience for mutual clients and targets.
Plantensive was acquired by Vaco, a global talent solutions firm, in 2018 to offer supply chain, retail planning, and category management solutions. The division serves many Fortune 500 and mid-market companies across the CPG, distribution, manufacturing, and retail industries by building, implementing, and optimizing dynamic supply chain and retail planning solutions that align with a company’s business strategy.
MorganFranklin was acquired by Vaco in 2019 to be the company’s global consulting platform. The re-alignment of Plantensive adds operations and supply chain systems expertise to MorganFranklin’s existing finance, technology, cybersecurity, and business consulting services.
“I have seen firsthand the value the Plantensive team brings to clients and appreciate the hands-on approach of their leaders,” said Chris Mann, chief executive officer and managing partner of MorganFranklin Consulting. “Our teams are already culturally aligned and committed to both collaboration and excellence in client service delivery, so I look forward to the great things we can achieve together.”
Plantensive managing partners Dan Luttner and Derek Cesarz will join MorganFranklin’s leadership team as part of this new alignment.
“The Plantensive team is excited to officially become part of MorganFranklin,” Luttner said. “Fully integrating Plantensive into MorganFranklin is a decision that makes absolute sense to our firm and we expect a frictionless transition as we have already been delivering our combined services to clients and sharing systems and processes as part of the Vaco family.”
Plantensive clients, team members, and partners should expect the same level of quality service delivered with no disruptions.
