Mother Parkers Perks up Supply Chain Savings
Mother Parkers, a large coffee and tea manufacturer in North America , is experiencing cost savings as a result of deploying Logility Voyager Solutions to improve demand and inventory planning. Previously, Mother Parkers was challenged by a mostly manual inventory and demand planning process and expected Logility Voyager Solutions to enable it to manage inventory more effectively and create a more collaborative production planning environment. "We selected Logility Voyager Solutions because we wanted a system that would easily integrate with our ERP platform and automate our inventory and forecasting processes," says Glenn Nicodemus, manager of supply chain planning at Mother Parkers. "Logility gives us more visibility into market demand and seasonal patterns and enables us to aggregate data quickly for capacity planning which makes our production planning more efficient. Since rolling out Logility in September 2007, we have already seen savings of up to $800,000 from safety stocks alone and are experiencing higher inventory turns as a result of more accurate forecasts."
