Logility was recognized for supporting PartyLite’s supply chain transformation. A global manufacturer and distributor of candles and home accessories, PartyLite established the goals to generate a global demand plan that could be reconciled against a country market forecast/financial plan, support dramatically lower supply chain working capital and lower inventory investment, and obtain a less than one year return on investment. The highly promotion driven business turned to Logility Voyager Solutions™ and achieved these business goals in less than eight months while reducing air freight 30 percent, increasing active inventory turns more than 90 percent, and realizing a 47 percent reduction in excess and obsolete inventory.
“Today’s complex supply chains are increasingly becoming a source of competitive differentiation and the foundation for company transformation initiatives,” said Mike Edenfield, president and CEO, Logility. “We are honored to be recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive for our work with PartyLite and their team of outstanding supply chain professionals. The success PartyLite has achieved highlights how the right combination of people, process and technology can have a profound impact on company performance.”
