ATLANTA, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verusen, a global leader in AI-driven supply chain and MRO inventory optimization, today announced the appointment of Kevin Epp as Principal Functional Consultant. Epp brings more than 20 years of supply chain expertise to Verusen, with deep specialization in MRO inventory optimization, enterprise asset management, and the implementation of solutions including the Maximo Application Suite, Maximo Inventory Optimization, SAP PM, and SAP HANA across industries including Oil & Gas, Mining, Energy & Utilities, and Manufacturing.
