Leading Global Manufacturer Set to Boost Supply Chain Performance with Logility’s Multi–Echelon Inventory Optimisation

ATLANTA — 21 February 2017 — Logility, Inc., a leading provider of collaborative supply chain optimisation and advanced retail planning solutions, today announced Infineum International Limited, a world leader in the formulation, manufacture and marketing of additives for the fuel and lubricant industry, has selected Logility Voyager Solutions™, an innovative cloud–based business planning platform, to optimise the inventory and shipment aspects of its supply chain to increase operational efficiencies and improve customer service.

"Our aim is to improve our inventory targeting system and reduce working capital while enhancing our service levels," said Ursula Thakkar, Head, Global Supply Chain and Planning, Infineum. "The multi–echelon inventory optimisation capabilities in Logility Voyager Solutions will allow us to quickly identify the reasons for our inventory challenges and reduce the manual intervention required by inventory planners. Logility will help us optimise our supply chain and ensure our team is able to focus on strategic growth initiatives for the company."

In addition, Infineum required that the new supply chain optimisation solution integrate quickly and simply with its existing planning system. To ensure customer and operational output remains synchronised, Infineum is leveraging Logility Voyager AdapLink, a template–based integration platform that will help Infineum get the system up and running with minimal effort from its internal development resources.

"Infineum operates in a complex, capital–intensive supply chain," said Allan Dow, president, Logility. "Logility Voyager Solutions will help remove working capital from the supply chain by intelligently placing inventory across the network and allowing Infineum the flexibility to manage through demand uncertainty and supply volatility. We look forward to a close partnership as we help Infineum optimise its supply chain."
