Triumph is one of the world’s most iconic motorcycle brands. Synonymous with terms such as premium product, quality, and British heritage, owning a Triumph motorcycle is truly a bucket-list item for many people.

Originally founded in 1902 and acquired in 1983 by its current owner John Bloor, it is now the largest UK-owned motorcycle manufacturer in the world. With factories in the UK, Thailand, Brazil and India, comprising of a unique array of assembly as well as component production processes, Triumph needs visibility of their supply chain across the globe in real-time.
