Mobility company selects agile business process platform and solutions for demand, supply planning and order fulfilment

 

Bugaboo International has selected the Agile Business Process Platform and solutions for demand, supply planning and order fulfilment.

 

Developed by i2 Technologies, which is part of the JDA Software Group, the platform is being implemented to increase product flexibility and configurability, improve customer service levels and lower inventory levels.

 

The Netherlands-based design company for iconic mobility products, with a product range of baby strollers and accessories, made the selection in the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

JDA completed its acquisition of i2 on 28 January 2010.

 

The demand and supply planning solutions selected by Bugaboo are designed to enable improved forecast accuracy and customer delivery performance while optimising investments in inventory.

 

Supporting cost-effective agility

 

Its provider said the fulfilment solution is a high-performance, order-promising application that helps increase delivery confidence and enhance supply utilisation, resulting in improved customer service levels and higher flexibility.

 

The supply chain platform supports closed-loop supply chain management and accelerates communication between planning and execution. The Agile Business Process Platform can help bring greater speed, agility, quality and cost efficiency to any supply chain, added i2.

 

“We selected the solutions developed by i2 to support agility in our business and to increase our service levels to our consumers while maintaining a cost-effective business model. In addition, we expect that the flexibility gained by this platform will provide us with a competitive advantage by offering our consumers greater flexibility in ordering Bugaboo’s products. We selected the solutions based on the company’s large number of customers and proven technology,” said Henk-Jan Groeneveld, Bugaboo supply chain director.
