ILG implements consumer centric planning from John Galt Solutions

Leading Manufacturer to Use Software to Help Manage Wal-Mart Relationship

CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2008 -- The International Legwear Group (ILG), a top producer of consumer legwear, has chosen John Galt Solutions' Consumer Centric Planning system to produce forecasts for their Wal-Mart accounts.

A leading legwear sourcing and distribution company, North Carolina-based ILG is known to consumers as the company behind leading brands like Peds, Dickies, Starter.

Consumer Centric Planning is a new forecasting tool that unites the supply chain and strategic account teams with a reliable, accurate forecast that produces replenishment plans from demand signals such as point of sale (POS) data. Alerts enable quick responses to issues at the shelf to improve the supplier's relationship with the retailer, avoid stock-outs, and boost sales.

With Consumer Centric Planning, ILG will gain deeper visibility into the supply chain at Wal-Mart, their largest client. With that knowledge, ILG's demand planners and account managers will be able to optimize inventory to match the retailer's thought process. ILG VP Supply Chain Denise Shelton says, "Our knowledge of how POS is the best demand driver and the past support we have received from the John Galt company made it easy to pick their Consumer Centric Planning. We know and trust their services team and expect to witness quick results from their latest tool."

John Galt President & CEO Anne Omrod says, "ILG is joining an ever-growing list of consumer goods companies that are choosing CCP in concert with traditional demand planning methods. With CCP in place, ILG will be able to create highly accurate demand plans at any level for any product, using the most relevant POS data."
