U.S. Autoforce Embarks on Supply Chain Transformation with Logility

By: via Business Wire

AI-first Supply Chain Planning Solutions to Support Aggressive Business Growth

U.S. Autoforce, an industry leader in automotive service parts, selects the AI-first Logility® Digital Supply Chain Platform, to support exponential business growth. Looking to enhance their entire supply chain strategy, they have invested in multiple Logility solutions including Demand Optimization, Inventory Planning, Replenishment Planning, Supply Planning Rebalancing, and Network Optimization.

U.S. Autoforce is experiencing significant business growth, expanding to over 2.5 million database records and 65 locations across the United States. With an anticipated growth up to 4 million in the next few years, they need a solution that can maintain database and optimize their planning.

Within just a few weeks of Go-Live, Adam Verbruggen, CPIM, Director, Inventory Management for U.S. Autoforce is already seeing results from the Logility implementation. “My golden moment was how much work has come off my plate with the beginning of the month process and has ultimately saved a lot of time. What used to take days to get the forecast at the record level we wanted can now be achieved in just a few hours. It takes pressure and stress off the teams to hit deadlines and get information to the manufacturers,” said Verbruggen.
