Associated Grocers of Florida, A. O. Smith Water Products, Brown Shoe, and
Cole-Parmer Recognized for Supply Chain Leadership at Connections 2007
ATLANTA, April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Logility, Inc. (Nasdaq:
LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply
chain, today announced the 2007 "Logility Leadership Award" winners. The
annual award program recognizes a select group of companies who have been
the most innovative in their efforts to develop and implement collaborative
supply chain processes that significantly improve operational performance
through the deployment of Logility Voyager Solutions(TM). The 2007 Logility
Leadership Award was presented to Associated Grocers of Florida, A. O.
Smith Water Products Company, Brown Shoe Company and Cole-Parmer Instrument
Company at Logility's "Connections 2007: Supply Chain Power Plays"
conference.
Examples of the winners' improvements in operational performance include:
-- Associated Grocers of Florida, a wholesale distributor of grocery
goods, implemented Logility Voyager Solutions as part of a
comprehensive system upgrade aimed at reducing inventory without
lowering customer fill rates. Logility has enabled Associated Grocers
to lower inventory levels by giving them the ability to accurately
forecast demand and replenish warehouses while also providing a
platform to implement several new programs to streamline their supply
chain and reduce maverick purchases. Results of the Logility
implementation have included increased customer service levels, a 47%
decrease in obsolete inventory over the past six months, lower
inventory carrying costs, reduction in overhead and the ability to
maximize labor and physical resources.
-- A. O. Smith Water Products Company, North America's leading
manufacturer and marketer of residential and commercial water heaters
and hydronic boilers, implemented Logility Voyager Solutions to improve
their supply chain processes through better demand, inventory, supply
and transportation planning. As a result, A. O. Smith has reduced
inventory, gained a more proactive response to demand fluctuations, and
improved customer service. Most recently, A. O. Smith has also improved
carrier satisfaction, increased customer service levels and decreased
freight costs through the implementation of Logility Voyager
Transportation Planning and Management(TM).
"It is very rewarding to recognize Logility customers each year for the
supply chain success they have achieved through the use of Logility Voyager
Solutions," said Mike Edenfield, president and CEO of Logility. "We
congratulate each leadership award recipient and celebrate their continued
success. Logility will support them by continuing to offer innovative
technology solutions that enable long-term supply chain improvements and
success."
