Oneida Selects Logility Voyager Solutions to Improve Demand, Inventory and Supply Planning
Atlanta and Oneida, NY (Aug. 15, 2006) - Logility, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, today announced that Oneida Ltd., one of the world's largest sourcing and distribution companies for stainless steel and silverplated flatware, has selected Logility Voyager Solutions™ to improve forecast accuracy, lower inventory levels, and increase customer fill rates.
"With Oneida's transition from manufacturing to total sourcing, we needed to strengthen our demand, inventory and supply planning processes," said Rob Hack, senior vice president and chief information officer, Oneida. "Logility is a key component of our overall global systems strategy to drive operational excellence in supply chain management and customer/supplier performance management. We are committed to being a recognized leader in supply chain management processes and performance in our industry. The implementation of Logility will enable us to improve forecast accuracy, increase collaboration internally and with customer and supplier partners, lower inventory levels while increasing 'perfect order' fill rates, increase global operational responsiveness and visibility of information needed to drive our business."
Implementation of Logility and a new global ERP platform is a major component of Oneida's 18-month operational restructuring plan, which includes a redirection of focus from manufactured to sourced product, implementation of world-class supply chain management practices, reinvestment in its brand, and a number of additional initiatives designed to return Oneida to profitability, increase liquidity and compete in a changing market place.
Logility Voyager Solutions will enable Oneida to create demand plans that are continually updated and immediately shared across the enterprise giving them the flexibility to formulate and revise supply plans based on the real-time status of customer demand and inventory. By having more visibility into demand, forecast accuracy will improve as well as customer satisfaction. Logility Voyager Solutions will provide a flexible, scenario-based supply chain planning environment that will complement Oneida's deployment of SAP's mySAP Business Suite.
"With the increase in global sourcing, companies are realizing the need to re-evaluate their supply chain processes to manage longer lead times and more accurately forecast demand," said Mike Edenfield, president and CEO, Logility. "We look forward to helping Oneida increase demand visibility as they adapt to total sourcing and improve their demand, inventory and supply planning processes."
Oneida, headquartered in Oneida, NY kicked-off its Logility and SAP implementation in June 2006.
