Consulting firm Accenture is expanding its supply chain capabilities through another acquisition, announcing Tuesday that it had bought Flo Group, a European consultancy and Oracle business partner specializing in global supply chain logistics.

According to Accenture, the deal enhances its Oracle capabilities in Europe to help clients build more resilient and agile supply chains that provide end-to-end visibility. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. 


Founded in 2007, Flo is headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with additional offices in Argentina and India. Flo’s 280 people join the Accenture Oracle Business Group, bolstering its capabilities to help clients design their digital core to be ready for supply chain transformation.

“Accenture is committed to helping organizations reinvent themselves and build their digital core as a source of competitive advantage,” Andrea Cesarini, lead of the Accenture Oracle Business Group in Europe, Middle East and Africa, said in a release. 

The deal marks the latest investment by Accenture to grow through acquisitions, after the New York-based company last year bought Insight Sourcing, an Atlanta-based provider of strategic sourcing and procurement services, and OnProcess Technology, which specializes in reverse logistics for the after-sales process. In 2022, the company also acquired the technology advisory firms MacGregor Partners and Inspirage to add capabilities in Blue Yonder and Oracle Cloud technologies. And in 2021 it bought Advoco, Sentor, and Umlaut.

From pingpong diplomacy to supply chain diplomacy?

There’s a photo from 1971 that John Kent, professor of supply chain management at the University of Arkansas, likes to show. It’s of a shaggy-haired 18-year-old named Glenn Cowan grinning at three-time world table tennis champion Zhuang Zedong, while holding a silk tapestry Zhuang had just given him. Cowan was a member of the U.S. table tennis team who participated in the 1971 World Table Tennis Championships in Nagoya, Japan. Story has it that one morning, he overslept and missed his bus to the tournament and had to hitch a ride with the Chinese national team and met and connected with Zhuang.

Cowan and Zhuang’s interaction led to an invitation for the U.S. team to visit China. At the time, the two countries were just beginning to emerge from a 20-year period of decidedly frosty relations, strict travel bans, and trade restrictions. The highly publicized trip signaled a willingness on both sides to renew relations and launched the term “pingpong diplomacy.”

California moves a step closer to requiring EV sales only by 2035

Federal regulators today gave California a green light to tackle the remaining steps to finalize its plan to gradually shift new car sales in the state by 2035 to only zero-emissions models — meaning battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid cars — known as the Advanced Clean Cars II Rule.

In a separate move, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also gave its approval for the state to advance its Heavy-Duty Omnibus Rule, which is crafted to significantly reduce smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from new heavy-duty, diesel-powered trucks.

Tariff threat pours cold water on global trade forecast

Global trade will see a moderate rebound in 2025, likely growing by 3.6% in volume terms, helped by companies restocking and households renewing purchases of durable goods while reducing spending on services, according to a forecast from trade credit insurer Allianz Trade.

The end of the year for 2024 will also likely be supported by companies rushing to ship goods in anticipation of the higher tariffs likely to be imposed by the coming Trump administration, and other potential disruptions in the coming quarters, the report said.
