Logility, Inc., a leading provider of collaborative supply chain
optimization and advanced retail planning solutions, today
announced the company has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in
the August 2018 Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning System of
Record. This Magic Quadrant examines vendors that provide supply
chain planning (SCP) system-of-record solutions.
Today’s fast-paced, global business requires companies to make
smarter decisions faster to delight a more demanding and informed
customer, sense and respond to potential risks and opportunities,
and boost profitable growth. Solutions, such as Logility Voyager
Solutions™ help companies transform their operations through the
innovative use of advanced algorithmic planning, artificial
intelligence and machine learning. Logility delivers a strong
foundation to serve the needs of today’s supply chains as well as a
platform for future growth and differentiation.
According to the report, “This Magic Quadrant analyzes the
market for SCP SORs (the foundational planning layer) that support
the “integrate” maturity stage (Stage 3 in Gartner’s five-stage
maturity model) of demand and supply planning processes today and
in the future. This is an area that Gartner finds many companies
are investing in to provide a strong foundational planning layer on
which to build their more differentiating and innovating
capabilities. Choosing an SCP SOR is a key decision. Not only must
it provide planning integration and visibility across a supply
chain, it also must provide a critical steppingstone in an SCP
technology roadmap that will help enable the business’s future SCP
aspirations. To be fully effective, an SCP SOR is deployed, at a
minimum, at the supply chain planning organizational level, as
opposed to SCP key functional capability or geographically. It is a
best practice to separate different solution sets and vendors
within an SCP SOR to prevent fragmenting the end-to-end (E2E)
planning capability too much.”
“Supply chains continue to evolve and innovate at an accelerated
pace which requires a supply chain platform that can support both
today’s business needs as well as tomorrow’s opportunities,” said
Allan Dow, president, Logility. “We believe our leadership
recognition by Gartner in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for
Supply Chain Planning System of Record supports our vision for
delivering innovative solutions that help businesses mitigate risk,
increase profitability and optimize their planning processes.”
