Case Study: Firmenich achieves global supply chain visibility and faster planning with Adexa

Firmenich - Customer Case Study

Firmenich, the world’s largest privately held flavor and fragrance company, needed a way to manage an increasingly complex global supply chain across 24 manufacturing sites, three chemical plants, and 20 sales offices. Its challenge was to replace slow, local planning processes with a single, accurate global view that could reduce inventory, shorten planning lead times, and improve collaboration with customers and suppliers. Adexa, Inc. was selected to provide the supply chain planning solution, the Adexa Enterprise Planning System (eGPS).

Adexa, Inc. implemented eGPS to aggregate ERP and customer data into one global planning environment, enabling synchronized planning, automatic replenishment, and better manufacturing and logistics decisions. The result was a dramatic reduction in planning lead times from 15–20 days to one day, safety stock reductions of 10%–20%, improved customer service, and lower transportation costs, including the ability to shift some shipments from air to sea and save up to 80% on freight.
