ATLANTA, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Logility, Inc.
(Nasdaq: LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize
the supply chain, today announced that Logility Voyager Solutions enable
companies to further green supply chain initiatives by helping reduce
energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and reducing excess
inventories to minimize the overall impact on the environment.
"Companies are moving beyond thinking about a green supply chain and
are setting specific goals and investing in initiatives to improve supply
chain operations with a more eco-conscious approach," said Mike Edenfield,
president and CEO, Logility. "Since these sustainability initiatives touch
all areas of the supply chain, each company must evaluate the impact on
costs and revenue growth within their specific global network. Logility
Voyager Solutions help companies advance sustainability objectives while
also maximizing supply chain efficiencies to achieve and maintain a
competitive advantage."
By optimizing global supply chain management, Logility Voyager
Solutions support sustainability efforts in a number of ways including:
improving forecasting for new product introductions that are focused on
environmentally friendly products; planning the roll-out of enhanced
packaging that minimizes waste and includes recycled materials; reducing
inventories by quickly sensing changes in consumer demand and synchronizing
market demand with production goals; increasing manufacturing efficiency by
optimizing changeovers and tracking specific green Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) featured within Logility Voyager Solutions; and modeling
complex supply chain networks to better plan production and distribution.
Logility Voyager Solutions also enable companies to "go green" by
improving transportation planning and management which leads to reduced
fuel consumption and lower emissions. With Logility, companies can more
efficiently and cost-effectively plan distribution routes with suppliers
and customers; maximize capacity and move full containers; consolidate
multiple customer orders and eliminate expedited and extra shipping costs
for on-time delivery while honoring customer delivery dates.
"Sustainability efforts have certainly changed the way companies look
at their global supply chain operations and Logility Voyager Solutions
provides the flexibility to model a variety of factors and support better
decision-making as each enterprise navigates through specific
sustainability initiatives," continued Edenfield. "Logility Voyager
Solutions help our customers plan multiple scenarios, visualize the
trade-offs and merits of each plan and implement the best plan for both
their business and the environment."
Logility recently participated in an APICS vendor webcast, "Thinking

sustainability forum, AMR Research. To access the on-demand replay of the
