MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Quintiq, a Dassault Systèmes company and a global leader in supply chain planning and optimization (SCP&O), has been
awarded the 2016 Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Leadership in the food & beverage (F&B) industry globally.
Based on in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research, Frost & Sullivan's Best Practices Awards recognize
companies in a variety of regional and global markets for outstanding achievement in leadership, technological innovation,
customer service and product development.
To receive this leadership award a company must demonstrate excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create
value for its customers, with a focus on improving the return on investment. The recipient consistently demonstrates a keen
understanding of market needs and challenges and provides innovative solutions to address them.
Frost & Sullivan determined that Quintiq has demonstrated these qualities through its commitment to delivering value above
and beyond its competitors by developing one of the most collaborative and integrated supply chain solutions with functionalities
that help customers across industries adapt to the latest technological advances. As a result, customers are able to scale
easily, grow quickly and update their models as their business evolves with market trends. It optimizes planning from the demand
stage all the way through final delivery. This commitment clearly highlights Quintiq's significant flexibility and unique value
proposition.
F&B manufacturers face unique planning challenges while trying to drive efficiency, whether it's meeting evolving demands,
ensuring the timely availability of products or complying with strict regulations. Quintiq understands the supply chain
challenges across all planning horizons and has effectively used its 20 years of experience to address them, deliver value to its
customers and secure a competitive advantage in the F&B industry. The company has a successful track record of implementing
production, business, operational and tactical planning solutions across several plants, enabling customers to make their plants
operational as quickly as possible while minimizing their payback period and maximizing the return on investment.
"Consumer expectations are rapidly evolving and radically changing the way manufacturers, suppliers, and transporters of
F&B products operate. These changes require supply chains to be agile, resilient, and highly responsive. As a global leader
in supply chain planning and optimization software, Quintiq offers solutions that ensure supply chains meet these sophisticated
business requirements," said David Kenneson, general manager of Quintiq North America. "We are
honored to be recognized for our work in the F&B industry and look forward to raising the bar even higher in the U.S. and
around the world."
