Transformative Actions Taken in Fiscal 2024

Subscription Fee Growth of 8% and 10% in Q4 and Fiscal 2024

ATLANTA (June 6, 2024) American Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMSWA) today reported preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, we divested our non-core information technology staffing firm, The Proven Method and its results are included in discontinuing operations.

“Fiscal 2024 was a pivotal year for our company, as we divested several non-core assets, introduced next-generation AI-first supply chain planning solutions, and reached a definitive agreement to eliminate our dual class structure,” said Allan Dow, CEO and President of American Software. “As we enter fiscal 2025, our pipeline has expanded meaningfully, thanks in part to increasing client interest in cloud conversions to realize the benefits of our new AI capabilities. Although we expect the rising demand for our solutions to accelerate subscription fee growth, our fiscal 2025 guidance assumes that ongoing macroeconomic headwinds will continue to weigh on customer spending decisions in the near-term.”

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Outlook from Continuing Operations:

  • Total revenues of $104.0 million to $108.0 million, including total recurring revenues of $87.0 million to $89.0 million.

AI-first platform accelerates supply chain decision-making with real-time, actionable, and understandable insights for the enterprise supply chain.

Atlanta, GA – May 6, 2024 – Logility, a leader in prescriptive supply chain planning solutions, continues to expand its generative AI (GenAI) capabilities across the Logility® Digital Supply Chain Platform, to empower organizations with the tools they need to unlock their data and make their supply chains more efficient, resilient, and competitive. Logility is collaborating with Deloitte Canada in the development of GenAI use cases that address specific supply chain planning challenges in demand, supply, inventory, and order fulfillment to accelerate the expansion of these capabilities.

“The integration of GenAI into Logility’s Digital Supply Chain Platform bridges the gap between complex data and human understanding, allowing planners to concentrate on high-value activities, and executives to confidently make strategic decisions in seconds. This is a real competitive advantage for supply chain organizations,” said Allan Dow, president of Logility. “Our collaboration with Deloitte will expand our reach and accelerate real deliverables as we redefine industry standards and empower organizations with next-level decision-making capabilities.”

Workforce challenges, unpredictable markets, data volume, silos, and the complexity of supply chain analysis underscore the urgent need for transformative solutions like Logility’s GenAI. Generic generative AI solutions are not well-suited for supply chain analyses because they lack the deep understanding of complex supply chain connections and data sources necessary for tailored insights that drive operational excellence and strategic foresight.

The GenAI capabilities within the Logility platform are designed specifically for supply chain applications. Integrated via natural language interaction, GenAI offers an intuitive user experience and is seamlessly woven into Logility’s platform, aiding organizations in efficiently leveraging AI without significant investments in data science resources.

According to an industry survey by Gartner, half of supply chain leaders plan to implement GenAI in the next year, and 14 percent are already in the implementation stage.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Logility to accelerate the application and adoption of GenAI in supply chain planning,” says Jas Jaaj, Managing Partner, AI and Data for Deloitte Canada. “By combining the deep industry expertise of both Deloitte and Logility, we aim to provide GenAI solutions that empower businesses to make smarter, data-driven decisions.”

Logility’s AI-first approach to supply chain planning solutions with Gen AI is tailor-made to help meet the demands and needs of the industry, empowering leaders to use technology designed to make timely, data-driven decisions in a highly competitive marketplace.
