“Logility’s performance during the third quarter was outstanding. We delivered operating earnings of $2.2 million for the quarter which marked our second consecutive quarter of record operating earnings. License fees increased an impressive 65% compared to the same period last year and contributed to record total revenues of $10.1 million for the quarter,” said J. Michael Edenfield, Logility president and chief executive officer. “A number of factors are working together to contribute to our positive results. The most pressing business driver is supply chain globalization, which is compelling many companies to invest in their supply chain system infrastructures. While the transition to offshore manufacturing may reduce costs, it significantly extends lead times and puts considerably more focus and less transparency on supply chain operations.”
“The increased visibility, discipline and efficiency provided by Logility’s supply chain solutions allow manufacturing, wholesale, and specialty retail organizations the opportunity to significantly improve cash flow, reduce inventory, increase supply chain responsiveness and accelerate the sales and operations planning process,” continued Edenfield.
