Curiosity and Optimism Defined  

Curiosity, the insatiable desire to know, has been the compass guiding ketteQ's journey from the start. The unwavering inquisitiveness sparks the quest for thinking differently, innovating differently, and delivering fundamentally different solutions, leading to major breakthroughs in supply chain planning technology. Conversely, optimism provides the belief and confidence that the future is open to possibilities and that these innovations can and will lead to a better future. Armed with these superpowers, the founders have spent three decades immersing themselves in the intricacies of supply chain solutions across diverse global industries.

The founders and the ketteQ team are doing what they love and loving what they are doing, making a better future for the world’s supply chains—a future where they are more efficient, resilient, and eventually autonomous. ketteQ is driving forward with great purpose and enjoying its journey.

Through thousands of curiosity-fueled conversations during hundreds of legacy supply chain solution implementations, the ketteQ team gained invaluable insights. These interactions revealed the shortcomings of legacy supply chain solutions and processes.

This ethos of challenging the norm and embracing the unknown has become ketteQ's signature approach and company mantra.  

They've propelled the ketteQ team to chase their passion—supply chain innovation.
