Pleasanton, Cal. , Dec. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloud supply chain planning innovator Steelwedge has been named to the 13th annual FL100+ list by Food Logistics, highlighted in the December 2016 issue of the publication. The FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers list serves as a resource guide of software and technology providers whose products and services are critical for companies in the global food and beverage supply chain.
Steelwedge’s PlanStreaming platform provides its food & beverage customers the real-time readiness and response capabilities required for ‘zero-latency planning’ -- faster forecast cycles, advanced scenario planning to leverage supply flexibility, and faster visibility into potential mismatches in supply and demand and the optimal actions to take.
“Faster planning and response management is never more important than within the food industry,” said Steelwedge CEO Pervinder Johar. “Planning in sync with demand can help create ‘inventory in motion,’ where supply and demand chain exception decisions are executed automatically, due to the large volumes of data processed in ‘fast what-if’ scenarios.”
Steelwedge’s PlanStreaming platform powers solutions for Sales Planning, Supply Chain Planning, Demand and Supply Sensing, Visibility, Control Tower and Exception Management, Opportunity to Cash, Procure to Pay and Sales & Operations Planning/Integrated Business Planning.
