GT Nexus-TradeCard merger finalized

   The merger between cloud-based computing supply chain technology companies GT Nexus and TradeCard was finalized Thursday, with the combined company to be called GT Nexus.
   The combined entity manages more than $100 billion in goods for a customer list that includes the Adidas Group, Caterpillar, Coach, DHL, Electrolux, HP, Levi Strauss & Co., Kohl’s, Nestlé, Patagonia, Pfizer, Renault and Weyerhaeuser.
   The merger, announced in January, pairs the strength of Oakland-based GT Nexus in visibility and logistics spend management with the strengths of New York-based TradeCard’s in order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles. The merged company will be based in Oakland, with regional operating centers in New York, Germany, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, India and Sri Lanka.
