Most large-sized SCPO solution providers address
operational complexities across several industries;
however, they often miss the nuances and industry
applications that are unique to the supply side of
process industries. Quintiq plugs this gap with the
Quintiq technology platform and maintains a high
degree of flexibility between standardization and
customization, with its architecture built in a way
that the platform can be customized without any
disturbance to the underlying layers.
