The acquisition will help Accenture build cloud-based industrial internet of things platforms that speed up and optimize clients' production and logistics and enable them to reduce quality and waste issues along the entire supply chain.

SALT Solutions will join Accenture Industry X, which helps clients improve how they operate factories and plants.

Complementing Accenture's expertise in enterprise resource planning systems and cloud solutions, the acquisition will be fundamental to expanding Accenture Industry X's digital manufacturing, operations and supply chain business in Germany.

Nigel Stacey, global lead for Accenture Industry X, added: "We are building cloud-based industrial IoT platforms for our clients that capture and turn underused shop floor information into insights for real-time and long-term strategic decision-making. SALT Solutions' unique production and logistics expertise will be a key enabler for these platforms."

SALT Solutions will be pivotal to bolstering Accenture's digital manufacturing and operations capabilities, which Accenture has been growing through acquisitions in different markets.
