Network optimization to minimize Scope 3 emissions, new supplier scorecards, and product traceability and compliance features, offer better risk avoidance and management.

ATLANTA, GA – May 24, 2023 – Logility, Inc., a leader in prescriptive supply chain planning software, introduces new functionality to its cloud-based (SaaS) Logility® Digital Supply Chain Platform, designed to elevate visibility into vendor and supplier relationships. New features are available for corporate responsibility, traceability, and vendor management software applications.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives are growing each year, as more companies begin to track the impact of their supply chain ecosystem. Ensuring vendors and suppliers also make a responsible impact is vital to company success.  

By balancing sustainability with profitability, the Logility® Digital Supply Chain Platform provides software that helps clients become more sustainable and competitive. In addition to supporting vendor compliance and ongoing assessments, the Logility Platform tackles pressing environmental emissions metrics. Functions offered include environmental considerations in network design, recycling content in components and finished goods, and planning for returns in the circular economy. Logility’s software helps clients reduce waste through better shelf-life planning, component postponement strategies, and optimized transportation modes. The new release takes network optimization and vendor management solutions for ESG to the next level.

This release introduces the ability to optimize your network design for Scope 3 emissions, allowing you to create network design scenarios for total CO2 emissions. CO2 is now a metric that can be optimized, enabling you to design your supply chain network for sustainability. Additionally, a “Target Emissions” solver allows users to specify a target threshold for CO2 emissions. Network Optimization now fully leverages a graph database, improving speed and performance, with faster and more detailed reporting.

The latest release allows users of the cloud-based Logility® Digital Supply Chain Platform increased visibility into vendor and supplier performance for corporate social responsibility. The new dashboards provide transparency of vendor compliance, product quality, product testing ratings, and year-over-year comparisons. Additionally, the dashboards showcase suppliers’ ratings and progression, allowing users to open corrective action plans by severity and monitor year-over-year trends.

Logility’s vendor management software includes improvements to supplier evaluation and change requests. The evaluation request process is streamlined to show and request information by supplier type and validate that certificates are uploaded as required. This visibility speeds up the supplier evaluation process for all parties and confirms all certificates are in place to continue supplier onboarding. With the supplier change request improvements, supplier approvers can see summarized changes more quickly and approve or reject those changes.

Reducing risk is a key objective of advances in Logility product compliance software. A new product tracking dashboard identifies purchase orders at risk. Sourcing teams can configure, send and receive alerts for missing and expired test requests while also following up with vendors to get products tested and certified prior to shipment.

The latest release helps Logility clients further reduce risk and enhances the delivery speed with visibility into suppliers classified as restricted entities through the CBP/Department of Commerce. After the client sourcing team uploads their supplier list, the new capabilities will identify the at-risk suppliers and related transactions. Users can then follow up on any at-risk purchase orders or shipments to deactivate restricted suppliers in their network.

“Enhancements to the Logility® Digital Supply Chain Platform allow us to continue delivering value tailored to each client through our Prescriptive DNA, a unique combination of our configurable platform, deep industry expertise and agile implementation,,” says Allan Dow, president, Logility.

Logility executives recognized for helping clients future-proof their supply chains

ATLANTA – March 22, 2023 – Logility, Inc., a leader in prescriptive supply chain planning, announced Allan Dow and Marti Kirsch as winners of the 2023 Pros to Know award by Supply and Demand Chain Executive. The annual Pros to Know award recognizes outstanding executives whose accomplishments offer a roadmap for other leaders looking to leverage their supply chain for competitive advantage.

“This year’s list is filled with supply chain professionals whose achievements and success stories have helped move the needle in the supply chain. They promote safety, sustainability and workforce development. They work toward helping heal the supply chain. They’re actually in the supply chain,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “We received close to 400 nominations this year, the highest number of nominations ever for this award. It’s proof that today’s supply chain professionals are doing great things for the supply chain. They embody what a true leader should be. And, without their initiatives, programs and collaborative efforts, today’s supply chains would be in worse shape.”

With a critical focus on client success, Dow is known for helping brands like Ralph Lauren, Under Armour, Wrangler, Herbalife Nutrition, Jockey, Ashley Furniture and The Home Depot make supply chain decisions with confidence, despite economic uncertainty.

Over the last year, Dow has focused efforts on critical client success initiatives for network optimization, traceability, and labor challenges. One critical achievement was his team’s acquisition of network optimization provider Starboard Solutions, which helps supply chain leaders explore “what if” scenarios within their networks. Dow recognized immediately the value this capability could be to users needing to quickly model their supply chain networks across multiple scenarios.

Another achievement is Mr. Dow and team’s traceability efforts. The team worked with U.S. Customs to help inform and balance national regulations with the latest traceability technology support initiatives. Logility’s platform provides clients the opportunity to visualize the global relationships of their interconnected supply network.

Finally, Dow put focus into overcoming industry labor shortages to staff his teams quickly and ensure Logility’s partners could move forward with critical programs. By attracting, retaining and swiftly onboarding the right talent, Mr. Dow and his team consistently deliver added value and support to clients.

“Uncertainty is, without a doubt, one of the biggest challenges facing today’s supply chain professionals. Our team at Logility is focused on delivering peace of mind through deeper visibility into nodes across the supply chain, and I see this Pros to Know award as validation of our efforts,” said Alan Dow, president, Logility. “We’ll continue to build more sustainable supply chains — in all senses of the word — alongside our clients.”

Kirsch leads Logility’s global marketing strategy and champions internal initiatives designed to streamline processes and ensure value is delivered to employees, clients and partners. Kirsch’s proudest achievement in the last 12 months was designing and implementing programs to eliminate siloed operations and lack of clear job responsibilities and objectives.

Kirsch successfully created definition, structure and objectives at the individual role level while increasing each employee’s understanding of and appreciation for how they contribute to the overall corporate mission. She introduced a new organizational structure that emphasized engagement with other areas of the business and embraced the belief that Marketing plays a key role in client success.

Kirsch also led an internal and external supply chain education program using webcasts, whitepapers and other engagement techniques. “Every day I get to tell the stories of the professionals and technologies changing the way we think of supply chain planning — and to see how the industry has responded, whether clients or partners, analysts or the media, is a phenomenal reward, especially becoming a Pro to Know,” said Marti Kirsch, executive vice president of marketing at Logility. “We have plenty of exciting new stories on the horizon, and we hope you’ll continue to follow us on this journey toward more precise and purposeful supply chains.”
