Accenture Announces Its Strategic Collaboration With Imperial Logistics
Accenture Announces Its Strategic Collaboration With Imperial Logistics. Accenture has announced a strategic collaboration with Imperial Logistics to deliver intelligent, customer-centric supply chain transformation across the African continent. As part of the initiative, Accenture will execute Imperial’s current supply chain and control tower contracts, as well as drive new skills and capabilities into these services.
“Both Accenture and Imperial Logistics have set bold strategic objectives to drive growth across the African continent,” Vukani Mngxati, CEO of Accenture in Africa said in a statement, “As part of this effort, employees from Imperial’s digital and IT Lead Logistics unit have transferred to Accenture. We are delighted to welcome these talented members to our team. They bring with them the skills and experience required to further enable our end-to-end supply chain offerings across the continent.”
Imperial is an African focused provider of integrated market access and logistics solutions.

As a leading global logistics provider, the company seeks out and leverages new technology to deliver innovative, end-to-end solutions.
This initiative/collaboration is a first of its kind on the African continent, specifically in the logistics industry, as it has the ambition of supporting clients in getting products in and out of Africa. These services and capabilities, previously executed from Imperial, recently joined Accenture, becoming a critical accelerator of Imperial’s efforts to drive business growth and digital transformation.
