Supply Chain Digest Honors Logility Voyager Inventory Optimization as its “Cool New Product of the Month”
Integrated with Comprehensive Supply Chain Suite, Logility Takes Inventory Optimization to the Next Level
ATLANTA (June 08, 2011) – Supply Chain Digest, a leading supply chain management and logistics publication, recently featured Logility Voyager Inventory Optimization(TM) as its “Cool New Supply Chain Product.” Each month, Supply Chain Digest (SCDigest) features a “Cool New Product” accompanied by a short video review.
As SCDigest editor Dan Gilmore describes in the video “New Integrated Inventory Optimization Solution from Logility takes the Honors, Showing 1+ 1 can Equal 3,” multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) software itself is very cool, but generally has operated in “stand alone” mode. Following the acquisition of Optiant in March 2010, Logility integrated the multi-echelon inventory optimization solution into the Logility Voyager Solutions suite. According to Gilmore, “The integration allows the IO software to be plugged into Logility’s existing performance management framework…resulting in new capabilities traditionally not part of most inventory optimization solutions.”
“By integrating the IO solutions, Logility has done a great job of taking it to the next level to leverage the synergies available between inventory optimization and the broader suite which optimizes demand and supply planning,” Gilmore continues in the video.
The video also highlights Logility’s Inventory Optimization Financial Impact Estimator. The tool provides companies an initial calculation of the financial benefits one can expect through an IO initiative. Following an 18 question survey, the tool helps you estimate the benefits and savings but also highlights the factors that contribute to those savings.
