Marigold Supply Chain Solutions is not just your service provider, we are a strategic partner for your business who will help you navigate the complexities of the FMCG Supply Chain.
Our History
Marigold Supply Chain Solutions, formerly known as Supply Intelligence, was formed in 2017 through the merger of two well-established companies in the FMCG logistics space: EA&I and Apiary Group.
These companies both began in 2017 by industry veterans. However, they formed a strategic partnership in 2021 thanks to each business’s shared values and goals. At the beginning, there were only 4 employees. Now, in 2023, the business has 23 employees and counting.
In October 2023, the strategic partnership transformed into an official merger of EA&I and Apiary Group into ‘Supply Intelligence’. We are a trusted service provider for some of Australia’s best and largest retail brands.
