Loftware and RiseNow have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at helping organizations maximize the value of their SAP and SAP S/4HANA investments. By integrating product identification technology with procurement transformation and managed services, the companies seek to address fragmented supply chain processes that often limit operational visibility and control.
The collaboration combines Loftware's expertise in product identification and labeling with RiseNow's advisory services, supply chain modernization capabilities, and agentic AI services to create more connected and efficient supply chain operations.
The partnership will launch with an emphasis on healthcare and health systems, where accurate product identification and end-to-end traceability are critical for patient safety, regulatory compliance, and audit readiness.
The combined solution provides organizations with improved visibility throughout the product lifecycle, enabling more reliable tracking of products while strengthening compliance with industry regulations. The companies also plan to expand the offering into manufacturing and other highly regulated industries.
"Organizations are under increasing pressure to make their SAP investments deliver measurable business outcomes," said Justin Sadler-Smith, Chief Revenue Officer at Loftware. "Through our leadership in the SAP ecosystem, including Loftware Cloud as an SAP Endorsed App, we bring greater intelligence to product identity across complex supply chains. Our partnership with RiseNow extends that value by combining deep transformation expertise with smarter product data management."
The partnership is designed to improve procurement, inventory management, and fulfillment by connecting product identification with supply chain operations. Organizations can benefit from enhanced visibility, improved decision-making, stronger regulatory compliance, and better control over products throughout the supply chain.
RiseNow's advisory expertise, managed services, and AI-powered automation complement Loftware's cloud-based product identification platform, helping organizations reduce operational risks while improving efficiency and user productivity.
"We're thrilled to join Loftware in a strategic global partnership to advance supply chain visibility, control, and optimization. Our advisory and operator-led managed services complement Loftware's product identification solutions, solving the root problems behind our clients' operations. Together we drive savings, reduce risk, increase visibility, and apply AI automation that improves both operational outcomes and user performance," added Steve Dailey, President at RiseNow.
The alliance reflects increasing demand for integrated supply chain technologies that combine procurement transformation, product identification, compliance management, and AI-powered automation into a unified operational framework.
By leveraging their respective expertise, Loftware and RiseNow aim to help organizations build more resilient, transparent, and scalable supply chains while improving the return on enterprise technology investments.
The strategic partnership positions both companies to support organizations seeking stronger supply chain visibility, enhanced product traceability, and greater operational efficiency. Beginning with healthcare and expanding into additional industries, the collaboration is expected to help businesses modernize procurement and supply chain operations through integrated SAP solutions and AI-enabled services.
