Elkay Expands John Galt Software Deployment to Drive and Enhance Sales Forecasting
CHICAGO, April 19 - John Galt Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of supply chain planning software, announced today that Elkay Manufacturing Company has significantly expanded its John Galt application to drive and enhance its sales forecasting. Elkay recently completed deployment of John Galt's Atlas Planning Suite(TM) to fully automate its entire sales forecasting process.
For more than 87 years, Elkay has been an innovative manufacturer of stainless steel sinks, water coolers, drinking fountains and faucets for residential and commercial use. Elkay, which is ranked 40th in Crain's Chicago Business list of Chicago's Largest Privately-Held Companies, has more than 4,000 employees in facilities across the United States and select international markets.
With this new John Galt deployment, Elkay expects to generate substantially more accurate and speedier forecasts that reach down to each of its hundreds of specific product categories. Eventually, Elkay plans to harness the John Galt Atlas Planning Suite software to broaden its collaborative planning between its sales and marketing teams.
"We're expanding our John Galt deployment because we consider the technology to be best in class," said Elkay's Market Intelligence and Forecasting Supervisor, Scott Belt.
