PLEASANTON, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/09/08 -- Steelwedge Software, the leading provider of Sales and Operations (S&OP) solutions, announced today that it has been selected to support the S&OP process optimization for NACCO Materials Handling Group (NMHG), a leading manufacturer of configure to order lift trucks. NMHG is a subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE: NC)
The multi-phased project will focus first on optimizing sales and demand planning accuracy, down to the configured option level. The Steelwedge solution will link historical demand with forward-looking configured opportunities to create a "total view" of the demand signal.
"We are pleased to have been selected by NMHG following an extensive evaluation of the leading solutions providers," said Steelwedge CEO Glen Margolis, "and we look forward to partnering with NHMG to support their vision of best-in-class sales and operations planning (S&OP)."
The Steelwedge solution empowers users to drive collaborative forecasting and planning using Enterprise Enabled Excel. Bottom-up forecasting across dealers and the distributed sales team are aligned and validated with top-down forecasting.
"The Steelwedge approach to collaborative planning will allow NHMG to obtain active, cross-functional participation -- sales, marketing, operations and finance -- in support of our S&OP process," said Margolis.
Critical analytics are captured through statistical forecasting, trend analysis and product lifecycle management. New and end-of-life products are managed through curve-fit modeling. The collaborative input from the dealer network and sales organization is then linked back to the operations plan to determine both near-term build-planning and longer term plant facility plans.
