AUSTIN, Texas, October 1, 2024 (Newswire.com) - John Galt Solutions, a global leader in automating supply chain planning to empower innovative businesses to make better decisions faster, today announced StarTech.com Ltd., a global technology manufacturer specializing in IT connectivity parts, has expanded its partnership with the company. StarTech.com selected John Galt Solutions’ cloud-based Atlas Planning Platform to power its digital supply chain planning transformation to support its rapid growth and expanding global operations.
As StarTech.com continues to experience significant business growth, the company identified a need to advance its supply chain capabilities and processes to meet changing customer needs and market dynamics while ensuring seamless delivery and exceptional customer satisfaction. With operations spanning 26 countries across five continents and serving an incredibly diverse range of customers, from Fortune 500 to small and midsize business through online retailers like Amazon, StarTech.com’s supply chain is a complex web of channels and products.
To tackle these challenges, StarTech.com is moving its supply chain planning to the cloud with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Platform. The Atlas Planning Platform enables StarTech.com to address complex supply chain challenges, such as planning for new product introductions (NPIs) and accelerated product lifecycles, as well as accounting for constrained supply and lead-time variability. Through advanced what-if scenario planning and analysis, StarTech.com is able to gain increased visibility and understand the impacts of decisions across the company’s extended value chain.
“John Galt Solutions has been instrumental in our journey to advance our supply chain planning capabilities,” said Ted Wenger, VP Operations at StarTech.com. “Our investment in Atlas Planning Platform represents our commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation and ensuring that we continue to exceed the needs of our customers around the world. We are excited to take this next step with John Galt Solutions as our partner.”
The expansion of StarTech.com’s partnership with John Galt Solutions represents a leap forward in the company’s supply chain strategy, allowing them to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning capabilities and machine learning insights to optimize demand planning, inventory management, and overall supply chain performance. StarTech.com will leverage AI capabilities such as causal modeling to link demand drivers to outcomes, cluster and ensemble techniques to remove bias and to drive greater automation across the supply chain. The Atlas Planning Platform’s AI agents, known as the Expert Systems, will help StarTech.com improve visibility into constraints across the supply chain, from suppliers to distributor warehouses and beyond.
The ability to leverage Atlas’ advanced what-if scenario planning is a key feature for StarTech.com as the company aims to enhance its Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process. Simulating various scenarios and stress-testing the supply chain helps StarTech’s team make more informed and agile planning decisions, ensuring they can rapidly adapt to market changes.
As a long-time customer of John Galt Solutions, StarTech.com’s decision to expand the partnership highlights the strength of this collaboration.
“We are thrilled to support StarTech.com’s ongoing growth with our Atlas Planning Platform,” said Matt Hoffman, Vice President of Product and Industry Solutions at John Galt Solutions. “StarTech.com is taking a significant step towards evolving their supply chain planning processes, and we are proud to be their partner in this journey, supporting their vision of supply chain planning excellence.
