Logility Ranked in 2022 Gartner® “Critical Capabilities for Supply Chain Planning Solutions” Report

A Critical Capabilities document is a comparative analysis that scores competing products or services against a set of critical differentiators identified by Gartner. It shows you which products or services are a best fit in various Use Cases to provide you actionable advice on which products/services you should add to your vendor shortlists for further evaluation.  

Gartner understands supply chain technology leaders need to take their desired planning maturity and these Use Cases into account when selecting SCP solutions. In the 2022 “Critical Capabilities for Supply Chain Planning Solutions” report, Gartner underscores the high-stakes nature of such an assessment.  Demand planning and end-to-end (E2E) enterprise planning have the lowest range of vendor scores, while digital planning has the highest range of vendor scores. 

We believe this particular report helps address the needs of supply chain executives competing in economically ambiguous and conflicting environments, as they’re rethinking their supply chain planning function with different levels of digital maturity and diverse mixes of capabilities.  

So how can businesses determine which vendor best meets their needs? Gartner advises, “supply chain technology leaders responsible for evaluating supply chain planning solutions: 

  • Focus your SCP solution evaluation on the relevant Use Cases by identifying your current “as is” and future “to be” maturity requirements. 
  • Compare your business requirements with their importance to your target use cases by reviewing the importance given for each critical capability for the target use case. 
  • Align your requirement importance with those of the critical capabilities for a specific Use Case by challenging the organization to determine which use cases it really needs to support in five years.” 

With this approach, Gartner ranked Logility second highest in four out of five Use Cases which are Demand Planning, Supply Planning, E2E Enterprise Planning and E2E Multienterprise Planning among SCP solution providers in its 2022 “Critical Capabilities for Supply Chain Planning Solutions” report. In fact, Logility attained 4.8 for Demand Planning and Supply Planning Use Cases out of a possible score of 5.
