Leading vacuum cleaner company turns to Logility for a complete global supply chain solution to support future growth and increase customer service levels

“Electrolux has seen its business model in North America change in recent years from manufacturing to sourcing a larger percentage of finished goods and components from overseas suppliers,” said Jennifer Hughey, vice president supply chain for Electrolux Home Care Products North America. “These factors added complexity into our supply chain. With the growing expectations of our customer base we needed to streamline our planning processes to ensure that we had a system in place that would support future growth and help us maintain high customer service levels. We selected Logility Voyager Solutions because it delivers a complete supply chain solution, which enables us to increase forecast accuracy and support our global demand and supply planning needs.”

Electrolux Home Care Products North America makes and markets more than 1,035 vacuum models under the brand names Electrolux, Sanitaire, Beam and Eureka. Its customer base is comprised of large mass retailers and home centers such as Target, WalMart, and Lowes. Logility Voyager Solutions will help Electrolux lower days of supply while increasing the ability to quickly respond to customer demands and expectations by providing them with more demand visibility and the capability to share critical supply chain data across the company in real-time. Electrolux will also be able to more accurately plan for the different stages of product lifecycles including introduction, maturity, replacement, substitution and retirement, and gain the insight to better align inventory with customer demand to reduce inventory obsolescence and cycle times.

“With Logility Voyager Solutions, Electrolux is able to build stronger collaboration and gain visibility throughout their global supply chain operations to maintain growth and profitability without compromising the level of service provided to their customers,” said Mike Edenfield, president and CEO, Logility. “Logility has a proven track record of helping companies increase forecast accuracy, decrease inventory, and build more efficient supply chains and we look forward to supporting supply chain success at Electrolux Home Care Products North America.”
