NGC recognized for its Andromeda Cloud Platform
deployment with Groupe Dynamite
New Generation Computing, Inc. (“NGC”), a leading provider
of cloud-based solutions for product lifecycle management
(PLM), supply chain management (SCM), quality control and
vendor compliance, today announced that it was selected as a
recipient of the 2018 Supply & Demand Chain Executive SDCE 100
Awards for the eighth consecutive year.
The SDCE 100 is an annual list of 100 great supply chain
projects that serve as a map for supply chain executives who are
looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own
operations. The award spotlights successful and innovative
transformation projects that deliver bottom-line value and achieve
supply chain excellence.
This year, NGCTM was recognized for its work deploying the
AndromedaTM Cloud Platform with Groupe Dynamite, a global fashion
retailer with two brands at the heart of its success, Garage and
Dynamite. The process of raw material procurement and management in
the fashion industry typically requires long lead times, which does
not meet the needs of the agile, fast-fashion world that Groupe
Dynamite operates in. To reduce lead times, Groupe Dynamite
implemented the NGC Andromeda Cloud PlatformTM to place and manage
pre-positioned raw materials commitments so new and replenishment
orders can enter production in a matter of days. This postponement
technique allows Groupe Dynamite to quickly make go/no-go
production decisions by evaluating current product supply vs.
in-season sales trends.
“NGC Andromeda provides Groupe Dynamite with a level of
visibility and cross-functional data that cannot be matched through
spreadsheet management,” said Scott Fennell, business development
specialist, Groupe Dynamite. “All of our business units constantly
use Andromeda to meet supply chain demand requirements that ensure
material allocation decisions are efficiently utilizing available
resources. In an industry where lead time reduction is vital,
showing merchandisers their material position in real-time is a key
contributor to Groupe Dynamite’s success.”
Andromeda redistributes the workload across multiple
departments, eliminates many versions of complex spreadsheets, and
provides a portal to share information with all stakeholders. By
using Andromeda, Groupe Dynamite expects to reduce fabric
liabilities by 50% in the first year.
“It’s an honor to be named a SDCE 100 recipient for the eighth
year in a row,” said Mark Burstein, president, NGC. “The Group
Dynamite project is just one of many examples of how the Andromeda
Cloud Platform is helping apparel brands and retailers enable the
Digital Supply Chain to create visibility across the supply chain,
facilitate postponement strategies and reduce lead times.”
