supply chain solution to support future growth and increase customer
service levels
ATLANTA, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Logility, Inc. (Nasdaq:
LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply
chain, announced today that Electrolux Home Care Products North America,
has successfully implemented Logility Voyager Solutions(TM) to increase
demand visibility, strengthen collaboration, improve forecast accuracy and
increase customer service levels.
"Electrolux has seen its business model in North America change in
recent years from manufacturing to sourcing a larger percentage of finished
goods and components from overseas suppliers," said Jennifer Hughey, vice
president supply chain for Electrolux Home Care Products North America.
"These factors added complexity into our supply chain. With the growing
expectations of our customer base we needed to streamline our planning
processes to ensure that we had a system in place that would support future
growth and help us maintain high customer service levels. We selected
Logility Voyager Solutions because it delivers a complete supply chain
solution, which enables us to increase forecast accuracy and support our
global demand and supply planning needs."

will help Electrolux lower days of supply while increasing the ability to
quickly respond to customer demands and expectations by providing them with
more demand visibility and the capability to share critical supply chain
data across the company in real-time. Electrolux will also be able to more
accurately plan for the different stages of product lifecycles including
introduction, maturity, replacement, substitution and retirement, and gain
the insight to better align inventory with customer demand to reduce
inventory obsolescence and cycle times.
