Lytica Launches New Trends Plugin To Maximize Component Supplier Relationships

Trends, a new plugin for Lytica's SupplyLens Pro platform, tracks supplier pricing and performance over time, allowing businesses to uncover which suppliers have been competitive and which have not been providing appropriate cost reductions.

Lytica, the world’s only provider of electronic component spend analytics and risk intelligence using real customer data, today announced the launch of the Trends plugin for its SupplyLens Pro™ platform. This new plugin enhances the market intelligence platform with historical pricing data and analysis to enable qualified customers to better assess their supplier relationships.

With the addition of Trends, Lytica customers can gain insight into their performance over time compared to market pricing. This tracking and performance data allows customers to rank and compare their suppliers to one another. This analysis shows which suppliers have been competitive in the market and which have not been providing appropriate cost reductions. Trends also compares manufacturers and suppliers on attributes such as design support, quality, delivery performance and other attributes to empower businesses with added negotiation leverage.

Lytica recently announced a $3 million raise to scale its customer-facing teams and provide even more value for its customers, as well as bolster its AI and machine learning capabilities to expand into additional products and features. The Lytica team, which has embraced remote and hybrid work during the COVID-19 pandemic, is actively hiring.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC, a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
