About Us

Our Mission

We do that by combining our supply chain expertise with the latest data science technology to help our customers to detect changes fast and act appropriately to disruptions and opportunities.

Our Vision

xOPTS’s vision is to be the worlds leading supply chain digital twin.

We will do that by delivering a validated model that builds huge trust and is based on great supply chain expertise . This is then combined with the latest data science technology and world class supply chain expertise from our channel partners.

Our History

xOPT was founded from a supply chain consulting company Xelocity that has had well over twenty years of experience in implementing supply chain planning and optimisation systems, assessing requirements for optimisation systems and running conference room pilots for those systems. We have helped companies determine what a good answer is from optimisation as often they have had to rely on answers from a black box with no reference point.

During this time we identified a number of key challenges for customers in delivering the expected bottom line improvements from these planning and optimisation systems.

Value Proposition Trust

xOPT’s value proposition is primarily based on building trust with our customers in the recommendations coming from the xOPT Supply Chain Digital Twin.

The second key component once that trust is achieved is ensuring that the recommendations are practical and can be implemented by the customer.

This is achieved through:

  • Validation of the baseline model against the management accounts.

  • Building scenarios based on changes that can be made by the customer.

In addition to this we use Gen AI and machine learning to correct errors in data and find missing data. The implementation process is built around identifying these outliers with customers to build confidence before applying the Gen AI and ML fixes.

Key people

We have a CEO that has over twenty five years working in supply chain including and running consulting companies. A Chief Commercial Officer that has run some of Australia and Asia Pacific's largest consulting and technology companies. An Executive Director that has run, sold and acquired some of New Zealand's largest privately owned technology companies.
