Cole-Parmer Successfully Implements Logility Voyager Solutions
ATLANTA (February 28, 2006) - Logility, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, announced today that Cole-Parmer Instrument Company, a distributor of scientific instruments and a division of Fisher Scientific, has successfully implemented Logility Voyager Solutions™ to improve forecast accuracy, reduce inventory levels and strengthen customer service.
Cole-Parmer is a leading global distributor of laboratory and industrial fluid handling products, instrumentation, equipment and supplies. Cole-Parmer products are sold throughout the world through its company-owned distribution center and a strong network of international dealers. Cole-Parmer selected Logility Voyager Solutions to improve inventory and replenishment planning by effectively forecasting inventory needs for items with long lead times and sporadic sales patterns.
"With more than 60,000 items, Cole-Parmer prides itself on maintaining the highest levels of product expertise and customer service," said Ray Glunz, director of materials management, Cole-Parmer. "We chose Logility Voyager Solutions to enable us to continue to deliver these high standards to our customers and allow Cole-Parmer to better manage our inventory planning through improved demand visibility. Going forward, we anticipate seeing a significant reduction in inventory with increased service levels and an improved inventory mix."
Cole-Parmer will use Logility to forecast inventory needs and to execute a replenishment plan to improve customer service levels and reduce inventory investment costs. Logility Voyager Solutions will also enable Cole-Parmer to generate and more effectively maintain inventory stocking policies using ABC stratification techniques.
Logility Voyager Solutions enables distribution-centric companies to increase gross margins through reduced costs, better demand visibility, synchronized sourcing, and improved customer service to free up capital and accelerate growth. For more information, visit http://www.logility.com.
