Blue Yonder to Expand Supply Chain Solutions With Doddle Acquisition Blue Yonder, a supply chain solutions provider, has signed an agreement to acquire Doddle, a first- and last-mile technology business.

Absa CIB Joins Contour Trade Finance Network Absa CIB is positioning itself at the forefront of digital developments by being a part of Contour’s digital trade finance network. Many of Africa’s trade transactions are manual and paper-based, which slows down trade growth and creates another layer of complexity and costs.
