to Support Global Transformation Initiative
Vista Outdoor is a leading global designer, manufacturer and marketer with a portfolio of more than 50 brands including Bushnell, Bell, Camelbak, Savage Arms, Federal Premium, Blackhawk, Bolle and others. With a complex mix of products, markets and seasonality, Vista Outdoor required a global S&OP process and technology platform to enhance the company’s ability to sense and respond to changing market conditions. Vista Outdoor leverages Logility’s advanced SaaS (Software–as–a–Service) supply chain solution to improve supply chain visibility, manage growth, create a monthly standard operating process, and integrate planning with multiple ERP systems.
“Our customers expect to access our high quality products when and where they want them regardless of the channel,” said Angie Taylor, senior director, sales and operations planning, Outdoor Products, Vista Outdoor. “With Logility Voyager Solutions™ we are able to collaborate more effectively, quickly make decisions based on accurate information and support our growth by onboarding new brands into our proven S&OP process — often in as quickly as four to eight weeks. This drives improvements and greater visibility across our supply chain allowing us to better serve our customers.”
