Logility Inc., a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize
the supply chain, today announced the editors of Supply & Demand
Chain Executive Magazine named Logility to its annual listing of the
Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100. The award highlights the "100 Great
Supply Chain Projects" of the past year and is the 12th
year Logility has been honored for enabling extraordinary supply chain
initiatives.
Logility was recognized for helping Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA Inc., a
subsidiary of Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group SPA, a 100-plus year old
vertically integrated coffee company headquartered in Treviso, Italy,
streamline its sales and operations planning (S&OP) process, align
production planning with resources, improve agility, and manage an
increasingly complex global supply chain. Through its use of Logility
Voyager Solutions™, Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA decreased planning
cycle time by 66 percent, increased inventory turns, reduced inventory
14 percent, and is now able to produce multiple “what-if” scenarios to
generate optimal plans and stay ahead of changes in its global supply
chain.

consultants and other organizations that were helping lead the way in
transforming companies' supply and demand chains. The 2014 Supply &
Demand Chain Executive 100 recognizes supply chain solution and service

application of technologies/solutions/services used (20 percent); extent
of the business results/impact (40 percent); clarity of submission (10
