NETGEAR Rolls Out John Galt's Atlas Planning Suite For Global Sales And Operations PlanningCHICAGO, April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR recently selected John Galt's Atlas Planning suite as its enterprise integrated demand planning software system for its global supply chain. NETGEAR now uses Atlas to manage demand and plan supply for over 1,000 products across 44,000 retail outlets and 36,000 value added resellers. NETGEAR sought a robust, worldwide best-in-class system to empower its sales and operations planning process. NETGEAR needed a demand forecasting tool that could enable its closely integrated supply chain, respond to demand changes and events, adapt to new business and channel requirements and manage fast new product launches and transitions. After an extensive RFQ process, NETGEAR chose 'Atlas Planning Suite' from John Galt Solutions for its configurable architecture and flexibility, inventory forecasting modeling, ease of collaboration and user personalization. John Galt was also able to implement the Atlas Planning Suite across multiple NETGEAR global offices spanning four continents. "John Galt's ability to configure its software to fit our fast changing demand, different channel and user requirement needs was an important factor in selecting them," said Francois Callait, Vice President of Global Supply Chain at NETGEAR. "We have a complex, global supply chain, and John Galt has the capabilities to deliver the robust demand planning solution w require with opportunity to expand to full S&OP in a later phase." The addition of NETGEAR as a client further expands John Galt's reach into the global technology industry. "NETGEAR's requirements showcase Atlas' capabilities as differentiators from our competitors," said Anne Omrod, President and CEO of John Galt Solutions. "We have many technology companies as customers. Forecasting in consumer electronics with short product lifecycles and global suppliers that have varying and sometimes lengthy lead times is a tremendous challenge. With the configurability of our demand planning solution, we were able to construct the right solution for NETGEAR to help streamline their process and set it up for success."
