Republic Wireless® Selects Steelwedge to Power Supply Chain Planning
Pleasanton, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2014 -- Steelwedge, the leader in cloud-based Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) solutions, today announced that it has been selected by Republic Wireless for integrated supply and demand planning. Republic Wireless, the innovative wireless service provider saving consumers money on their wireless service by harnessing the power of both WiFi and cellular to lower the cost of smartphone service, chose Steelwedge to help strengthen its supply chain planning capabilities due to the pacing and complexities associated with rapid growth.
The company will leverage Steelwedge for constraint-based planning, supply scheduling, attach-rate planning, and supplier collaboration. Republic Wireless will utilize Steelwedge for product life cycle management, including new product introductions and end-of-life, as well as to manage its desired stock levels. Additionally, purchase order requirements will be extracted as a downstream output to interface with its ERP system.
“Because Steelwedge is cloud-based, the barriers to entry in terms of cost and configuration are less difficult to overcome, and we know we will always have the most recent version of the software,” said Alan Pendleton, Director, Supply Chain Management, Republic Wireless. “Strategically, we wanted to build an S&OP platform that enables us to support increasing scale and complexity with limited additional operational investments. We recognized that Steelwedge was the leader in cloud S&OP, and best-in-class for the foreseeable future.”
“Steelwedge is excited to partner with a company experiencing the kind of explosive growth that Republic Wireless is,” said Glen Margolis, Steelwedge CEO. “Both of our companies have been recognized as leaders in disruptive technology, so we understand the requirements that Republic Wireless has to stay agile and innovative while expanding its business. We look forward to providing the S&OP technology that helps them along that journey.”
