Trek Bicycle Chooses John Galt Solutions For Global Demand & Supply Planning
CHICAGO, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Trek Bicycle has partnered with John Galt Solutions for a global demand planning and inventory management project.
With Atlas Planning, Trek's 25 planners will manage over 300,000 finished bikes, parts, and accessories over 25 countries. Trek will eventually roll out Atlas to cover their sales & operations planning (S&OP) process, including sales collaboration, capacity planning, and reporting.
With their business growing rapidly and expanding overseas, Trek needed a system capable of consolidating all global business segments and their planning processes, while reducing time and resource commitments from the planning and IT teams.
