Ottawa, Ont. and Silicon Valley, CA. October , 2016 - Pelyco Systems, the leading provider of web-based, collaborative supply chain/logistics visibility and spreadsheet management solutions, today announced that Infoblox, the market leader with largest installed base of in DNS, DHCP, and IP address management appliances, has implemented Pelyco’s enterprise SmartSpreadSheet:Control Tower for their demand forecast, S&OP, weekly build plan and analytic reporting.
The demand planning process at Infoblox had issues that made it
challenging and inefficient to manage.
It
was a manual, spreadsheet based process that was cumbersome and
relied on the “tribal” knowledge of a few critical resources.
This manual process created obvious risk to the business.
In addition, the process was time consuming, and included
manual handoffs for input between several participants in multiple
departments. Another
problem Infoblox faced was the distributed nature of the data
required for demand planning.
The company needed a better method to manage the entire
planning and S&OP process and sought out a solution through an RFI.
The solution partner selected was Pelyco Systems.
Following discussions with Pelyco a comprehensive Control Tower
solution for data collection, data management and analytic reporting
to support the Infoblox demand planning process was implemented.
This included an integrated
collaborative SmartSpreadSheet module focused on all aspects of the
demand planning and S&OP process.
The benefits of Pelyco’s SmartSpreadSheet Control Tower solution to
Infoblox were immediate and included; elimination of the manual
process, dramatic time reduction to manage the demand planning
process, a multi-user, centralized data repository for easy access,
a method to track and audit changes, and analytic reports to
evaluate decisions, uncover trends and monitor
performance.
One of the key Pelyco solutions is the Infoblox SmartSpreadSheet
powered Top Level Plan (TLP). The TLP is consistently used by the
team to manipulate the high level plan into a weekly plan, and also
gives Infoblox real-time, forecast versus actual variance and
accuracy tracking and reporting.
