Ensuring best in class service levels and high inventory availability to our customers is paramount," said Adam Shapiro, COO at Performance Health. We required an advanced planning system with an open architecture that leverages the full potential of generative AI, machine learning, advanced solvers, and cloud computing. This system is crucial for delivering the agility and real-time insights necessary to navigate complex scenarios, optimize inventory levels, and maintain supply continuity.
