SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Apttus, the category-defining Quote-to-Cash solution provider, today announced that it has been selected by KUKA, one of the world's leading suppliers of intelligent automation solutions, as their digital commerce provider. KUKA is a German manufacturer of industrial robots and solutions for factory automation and has been a leader in its industry since its inception in 1898.

KUKA's business is dedicated to providing its customers with specific, often customized, factory automation tools.
