SHAKOPEE, Minn., Dec. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Halo announced today its partnership with Open Systems, Inc., entering into a supply and service agreement that grants Open Systems access to the full range of Halo's supply chain analytics and business intelligence solutions. Halo's advanced portfolio of products will enable Open Systems to expand its current service offering to a new and existing customer base. Keith Peterson, CEO at Halo, said "We've developed analytics tools tailored to the unique needs of mid-size manufacturers, distributors, service companies and not-for-profits. The partnership enables both companies to reach large base of global companies. For Halo, Open Systems was our first consideration in this market as their reputation is backed by rock solid customer relationships and planning software solutions."

The Halo Platform includes modules for data integration, performance reporting and analytics, supplier management, forecasting and demand planning. Each module is built as a self-serve application designed for companies with business users who want to perform their own analysis quickly without burdening their IT departments.

"Many of our customers want pre-packaged solutions to help them achieve rapid time to value," said Paul Lundquist, Vice President, Corporate Development of Open Systems, Inc.
