Klaussner Furniture Industries, Inc. Selects Logility Voyager Solutions
Atlanta (January 3, 2006) - Logility, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, today announced that Klaussner Furniture, Inc., the fourth largest manufacturer and distributor of home furnishings in the United States, has selected Logility Voyager Solutions™ to help strengthen customer service through improved forecast accuracy, inventory management and demand visibility.
With 20 U.S. manufacturing facilities and more than 7,000 employees, Klaussner Furniture is dedicated to providing retailers with a single source for quality products that fit a range of styles and product categories. Klaussner produces upholstered furniture, case goods and home accessories to over 3,000 customers.
"There are many issues sweeping over the furniture industry, which include an increasingly global supply base, that make forecast accuracy one of the most critical issues to Klaussner's continued success," said Chuck Miller, vice president of supply chain management, Klaussner Furniture. "Logility Voyager Solutions for Demand Planning and Inventory Planning will enable Klaussner to drive accurate forecast of customer demand, optimize inventory investment and better service our customers. Klaussner's goal is to deliver the perfect order - complete, on-time, and in good condition - and we feel that Logility gives us a valuable tool to help achieve this goal."
Klaussner Furniture selected Voyager Demand Planning to more accurately manage its businesses by aligning future inventory investment with customer demand to boost customer service levels, shorten cycle times and reduce both finished goods and obsolete inventory. The furniture company will also implement Voyager Inventory Planning to maximize the information communicated from Demand Planning and effectively measure the trade-off of time-phased inventory investments with desired customer service levels.
"We continue to provide the tools that enable the furniture industry to reduce supply chain complexity, improve demand visibility and optimize global sourcing as more production moves offshore," said Mike Edenfield, president and CEO of Logility. "We are helping Klaussner Furniture build a strong and flexible supply chain infrastructure that will be capable of supporting their business long-term."
Logility Voyager Solutions enables furniture and home furnishing companies to increase gross margins through better demand visibility, improved sourcing, higher numbers of perfect orders, better customer service and reduced supply chain costs. For more information, visit http://www.logility.com.
