MAAP Streamlines Global Supply Chain with AI-Powered Platform

How MAAP's New Platform Will Change Its Supply Chain

MAAP, a cycling apparel brand, is streamlining its global supply chain by partnering with technology vendor Bamboo Rose. The partnership will see MAAP unify several supply chain functions onto a single AI-enabled platform, called TotalPLM. This platform will improve data accuracy, reduce manual work, and enable faster decision-making.

Previously, MAAP had to make updates across three software platforms to make a single product change within its global network. With TotalPLM, MAAP aims to give its teams a single source of truth across the product lifecycle.

MAAP ships its products to customers globally, including within the United States from its warehouse in Los Angeles. The brand also has storefronts in several major cities, including Los Angeles, Seoul, and Amsterdam.

What This Means for Retailers and Suppliers

MAAP is not the only retailer to implement Bamboo Rose's technology into its supply chain operations. Walmart and Pacsun have also partnered with Bamboo Rose to enhance their supply chain operations.
