Irish cider manufacturer to gain better visibility into customer demand and
build a more collaborative forecasting process
ATLANTA, March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Logility, Inc. (Nasdaq:
LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimise the supply
chain, today announced that C&C Group, a leading manufacturer, marketer and
distributor of branded alcoholic beverages, has selected Logility Voyager
Solutions(TM) to support its continued growth through increased demand
visibility and a more formalised and collaborative forecasting process.
C&C Group's beverage brands include Bulmers Irish Cider (ROI), Magners
Irish Cider, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey and Carolans Cream Liqueur. C&C
has seen significant growth in brand volumes, which resulted in forecasting
challenges that led to a search for a solution that would help them predict
demand more accurately and increase collaboration within the supply chain
planning process. Also, the production of Magners cider still incorporates
many of the traditional production processes of 50 years ago combined with
the maturation time of several months. This process creates long lead times
and additional complexity within the supply chain that can be minimised
through better visibility into future market demand.
"We selected Logility Voyager Solutions to help improve and formalise
our demand planning processes," said Aidan Murphy, Managing Director,
Supply, C&C Group. "As we continue to grow our brands' presence in the
marketplace, Logility will help us increase forecast accuracy as well as
customer service levels by ensuring that we have supply available at the
point of customer demand."
Logility Voyager Solutions for demand planning helps manufacturers in
the food and beverage industry gain long-term visibility of future market
demand making it easier to align inventory with customer demand and boost
customer service levels.
"C&C Group is an Irish success story, having grown its cider brands
tremendously through the years while also becoming a market leader and
changing the overall perception of cider in the marketplace," said Mike
Edenfield, president and CEO, Logility. "We look forward to helping C&C
Group build a strong and flexible supply chain that is capable of
supporting their long-term growth plans."
